Step by Step Instructions for How to Make a Deco Mesh Angel

Step One

Remove the ornament hanger from the ornament. Drop a small amount of the pouring medium into the ornament ball. Pour a small amount of acrylic paint into the ornament ball.

Swirl around in the bottom to mix and then swirl around to coat the inside of the ball. Turn the ornament upside down and allow it to drip dry inside the plastic cup. (You can also use a heat gun to speed it up, but be careful not to melt the plastic ornament.)

Step Two

Cut the 10″ deco mesh into ten, 10″inch strips. Taking opposite corners of the mesh pull them outwards and then pinch in the center. Collect all ten pieces in one hand at the center. Secure with one of the clear zip ties at the center.

Step Three

Section off five tails from each side of the arrangement and secure with a second zip tie approximately 1-2″ down to create the bottom half of the Christmas angel.

Step Four

Hot glue the ornament onto the top of the center of the angel shape.

Step Five

Using the wired jute twine; glue around the “neck” of the ornament and create a halo.

Taking the ribbon of your choice tie a pretty bow around the neck of the ornament to hide the twine and pull the bow tails down to hide the zip ties.

    1. southerncrush says:

      I love it! I’m glad you’re going to make one!

  6. I want to make the mesh angel but how do you keep the mesh from freying so much?

    1. southerncrush says:

      It does fray. It’s mesh so it’s going to fray, let me know if you find a solution as I do not have one.

      1. I found out if you cut it with a sodering gun it melts it ant stops it from fraying.

      2. Mary Jo Chstman says:

        If u get a wood burner to cut ur pieces it will not fray-it worlkd

    2. Billie Ratcliffe says:

      Cut your pieces of mesh with a wood-burning tool. I have one dedicated just for mesh. It seals the mesh as you run your cut line.
      Zip–no fraying!! Thanks for all the beautiful ideas. Now get yer groove on..im hoping to find time this fall to do some😊..great therapy after a fire in our home 😳

      1. southerncrush says:

        I’m so sorry to hear about your fire! Yes, a burning tool is on my list of things to invest in! Thank you for being here–I appreciate you!

  7. Deborah Seldon says:

  9. ho tagliato i vari pezzi, si sfilacciano e non ho gli attrezzi descritti dalle varie chat, anche perché non saprei dove comprarli. come posso fare?

    1. southerncrush says:

      Translation: I cut the various pieces, they fray and I don’t have the tools described by the various chats, also because I don’t know where to buy them. how can I do?
