Materials Needed For Poinsettia Wreath Rail

Welcome Poinsettia Rail
21” Deco Mesh (Red & White)
Pipe Cleaners
Ribbon Tail Board
Rotary Cutter
2- 2.5” Ribbon (Poinsettia Ribbon & Red with Green Swirl)
1- 1.5” Ribbon (Red, White & Green stripe, & Red Plaid)
Tubing (Green & Gold)

Instructions to decorate your wreath rail

Start attaching your pipe cleaners. You are going to tie seven across the middle of the board.
Then you’re going to take 8” of the deco mesh to make one ruffle for every twist tie. To do this, you are going to roll up the edges a little bit and then scrunch it up the center. I am not cutting the mesh, I am just twisting in the middle and continuing to make lots of filler.
Next I use my ribbon tail board to cut out 7 pieces of 2.5” Poinsettia Ribbon, 2.5” Red with Green Swirl, and the 1.5” Red, White & Green stripe ribbon. I wrap it around my board 7 times and I cut it off from the roll, remove the wrapped around ribbon, and cut the wrap where they all meet at the top. Once I have my 7-pieces of all three ribbons I will trim the ends of the tails on the ribbon in angle or dovetail.
Then you will get one piece of Poinsettia Ribbon, Red with Green Swirl, and the Red, White & Green stripe ribbon, fold them in half and pinch the center together. I put the green on bottom, halloween in the middle and the ghost ribbon on top. Attach the center pinch to the first twist tie on the wreath rail. Repeat with the remaining ribbon tails and twist ties leaving the second pipe cleaner alone for the bow. Spread out your center tails in Xs and then Ks at both ends.
To add some texture and bring out all of the colors to your design, start by cutting 6- 20” of green and gold tubing, take two pieces and make it into a lasso. Pinch the middle to make a bow, lay straight on the twist tie and twist it in. Repeat this to all of the twist ties except for the second pipe cleaner you are going to leave for your bow.
Now a bow! Take two pipe cleaners and twist the ends together for your bow. Grab your ribbons. Start with a 2.5” of poinsettia ribbon, measure a 8” tail, pinch and hold onto then twist the ribbon and then measure it. Then make a 5” loop by measuring 10” on a measuring board and then twist.. Make another loop on the other side then trim after a 8” tail.
I next added the 2.5” red with green swirl ribbon, measured out a 8” tail, pinch and hold onto and then twist the ribbon and then measured it. Then make a 5” loop by measuring 10” on a measuring board and then twist.. Make another loop on the other side then trim after a 8” tail.
and your loops are going to lay on top of each other and you will spread them out to make your bow.
Now use the 1.5” red, white, and green striped ribbon, to repeat the same process making a 5” loop and 8” ribbon tails.
Finally take the 1.5 red plaid ribbon and repeat the same process making a 5” loop and 8” ribbon tails.
Take two pipe cleaners and twist the ends together to make one long pipe cleaner. Remove your bow from your fingers and use the long pipe cleaner to secure the center of the bow, twisting it off at the back nice and tight.
Use the pipe cleaners on the bow to push through the mesh and attach the bow to the wreath rail.
