A few weeks ago I was asked by Sam's Club to go shopping at their store and use the products I bought for a DIY project. I must say, I don't generally think of Sam's for DIY so I took them up on their challenge – and was pleasantly surprised.
Because it's Christmas time, they had tons of Christmas decor supplies. I was immediately drawn to the packs of deco mesh.
Are you familiar with deco mesh? It's this wide, pliable, mesh material that comes in lots of colors and is so pretty and fun.
Here in the south, there is deco mesh decor EVERYWHERE. I had never even seen it in stores before this year.
After opening it up and playing a little bit, I went back to Sam's for more. At $8 a pack, it is so affordable – and so fun! I also bought some big and pretty rolls of thin and thick ribbon.
My first project was a deco mesh wreath. These are EVERYWHERE on Pinterest. I used this tutorial and within an hour had this pretty number hanging on our front door. The mesh and ribbon is from Sam's and the ornaments are from our Christmas stash.
I must admit. I was pretty darn proud of myself. Didn't it turn out adorable!? I promise, you could totally do it too. SO, so easy. It took only about half a roll of mesh to do the wreath.
I then decided to trim our main tree with deco mesh. Matthew and I really wanted a change this year and boy did this mesh do that. Check it out!
When exploring how to use decorative mesh on a Christmas tree I (totally by accident) stumbled on this Sam's Club video:
It is short and does a good job explaining how to add the mesh to a tree.
Also be sure to check out the Cheer Guide from Brooke Peterson for additional inspiration/ideas with Sam’s Club items this Holiday.
Today I'm excited to be giving away a Christmas gift basket from Sam's that includes deco mesh and other fun decor items.

Have you decorated with deco mesh before?
Love the mesh! I have seen it all over pinterest too and had no idea where to find it. Thanks for the info :o)
I have never decorated with deco mesh but it looks so fun and easy I would love to try it!
This is so fun! I think it would be nice to win the pack and make a wreath as a Christmas gift for a family member or friend. What a cute idea. Your wreath looks fantastic! I love the color choices. 🙂
I have a client who makes these and they really are amazing!
Love what you made! Hope I win so I can attempt to make on as well!!
Super cute.
I love the mesh so much! It just makes everything more festive.
How fun! You did a great job!!
No, but your wreath sure is cute!
I started seeing it on blogs last year, and a little bit on people’s mailboxes locally, but not in stores. I wanted to try it this year but didn’t want to spend any more money. If I win it, though…. :0)
That’s awesome! Great job! Thanks for the chance to win!
Pretty cool stuff. I have never really seen it before today. Now I want to go and check it out. Love finding new stuff. Thanks.
I have never used deco mesh before, but it sure looks like fun! And ohh so pretty!
I’ve never used the mesh before but I’ve been dying to, just didn’t know where I could find it! Thanks for the heads up!
Your tree looks awesome!!
I love it all!!! You did such a great job!!!!
I have been looking for something different for my tree too! I love the deco mesh. And it’s good to know it’s not that expensive at Sam’s Club. Thanks for the tip!
That looks like great fun! Fresh look without being too fussy…that’s my kind of decorating. 🙂
this is a great idea.. would love to try it out..
I’ve never tried it, but it looks gorgeous!
I have never used this before – your wreath and tree look awesome!
I used the mesh this year around my front door and on my mantle, but wasn’t sure exactly what to do on the tree. I decided I would add that next year. Thanks for the video and I love your tree!!!
My favorite veggie? It’s actually hard to choose! Maybe a three way tie between artichokes, brussel sprouts and green peas?
We used the mesh on our tree at work … After seeing what you did I might try it at home!
I’m so glad you posted this! I had no idea they had this at Sam’s. Love it!
so pretty! what a fun giveaway!
Love the mesh. I’m thinking I need to try that next year instead of ribbon. Perhaps that will give me the look I going for. Because what I’ve done I’m not a fan of 🙂
I adore this mesh and your tree looks GORGEOUS!! I would love to win this giveaway and try it!
Never worked with mesh before but am going to try that wreath. Love it and the tutorial you posted seems pretty easy!
I have gone crazy with deco mesh this year! It is SO EASY to use! I have used it on 3 of our Christmas trees, our banister, and I made a wreath! I’m excited to know it is available at Sam’s! 🙂
I haven’t used deco mesh before, but my 5-year-old daughter and I would be all over this. 🙂
Love the tree the most. Great ideas for using mesh. I’ll have to give it a try.
I’ve never used deco mesh, but watched all the videos on youtube I could find. You make it look easy.
My favorite veggie is grilled aparagus. 😉
Your wreath and tree turned out great. The mesh seems easy enough to use. And I’m pretty pumped this comes with that Starbucks cup too!! Merry Christmas.
Super cute – I LOVE the wreath you made. I’ve never heard of the stuff, but I’d love to try it!

I also made my first wreath this year with mesh. I just used a wire frame to attach the mesh to and then some fun picks. Your tree looks great, I may have to try that next year.
I like the looks of it and I have never used it. Thanks for the giveaway!
It always looks great when people use it. I’ve never tried it myself tho.
It’s so pretty! I have always wanted to try it but haven’t yet. I have only ever seen green, gold and red but no silver. Your tree came out gorgeous too!
Happy Holidays!

Inlove your DIY project! Last Christmas the hospital I work at had our trees professionally decorated. They used the deco mesh! The trees were amazing! I had no idea this stuff was available to anyone other than florists! Thanks for sharing your project and find with us!
I have seen it, loved it, but, never used it!
Your tree is so pretty, tried the mesh for the first time this year but can not get it to look as pretty as yours.
I haven’t tried it before but it looks gorgeous!
Never used mesh before- but your stuff looks awesome!! Love you!
I havent used it before but looks fun to try!!
I have not used it but it looks so cute and my tree desperately needs something more!
I LOVE this! This is my first year as an empty nest and changed things up myself. I wanted the house to have an adult/elegant feel and this would have been perfect. Next year I promised the grandkids a candy/cookie tree, but think I could work this in. Thanks so much for the sharing.
No, I just saw it the first time this year at Hobby Lobby. But all those decorations would totally match my tree!
Love it! The tree looks great. I hope ours would look as pretty with the colored lights we use. The gold is so classy. 🙂 The mesh looks like bells!
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well your Deco Mesh decorations turned out! I’ve never used it but I will definitely keep Deco Mesh in mind for future DIY projects! I especially love it on your Christmas Tree; the gold looks great!
Love the deco mesh! Would love to win this give-away!
Honestly have never worked with it before, but you make it look pretty tantalizing….especially it’s EASY!! Thank you & Merry Christmas. 🙂
I”ve never used it , but I love the look. It looks totally doable. I’d love to try a project with it.
I’ve seen it before but thought it was kind of tacky. But what you made looks so cute, I feel like I should give it a try!!
love it!!
I have never used it, but it looks fabulous on your door and your tree.
Love the mesh — you did a great job on the wreath and tree!
I haven’t tried the deco mesh yet. I’ll have to check it out the next time I’m at Sam’s Club. I did pick up a couple of rolls of the small wired tinsel and I’ve made several super cute little trees with it. You may have just helped me finish up my Christmas gifts for this year! 🙂 Thanks!
I have it on my tree, door and mantle!!!!
I have never used this before but it looks beautiful and easy to use!
I have never used deco mesh but would like to…love the look of it!
