Beach-themed Decomesh Wreath

My bathroom (like 90% of all bathrooms) is beach-themed. I've got blue walls, a nice line of blue and sea-green glass accent tiles in the shower, and a giant B-E-A-C-H glued to one of the walls. I had a big blank spot on the wall over the towel rack that was just begging to be filled.

On a trip to Michael's over the summer I saw a pre-made wreath that had what looked like netting and a slew of seashells glued to it. I tried to recreate it (minus the string of seashells).

The end result:


I started with 4" rolls of the dark blue and teal decomesh, 1 roll of the burlap netting, and the smallest wire wreath frame I could find at Michaels. I did one pass with each of the blues, keeping my loops pretty large, and finished it up with the netting. I just sort of poked loops in where I thought the decomesh looked a little sparse.


It took me a while to find starfish that I liked at an affordable price - I ended up having to get a variety pack from Michael's with a 40% off coupon. I think this is the first decomesh wreath I've ever made that I haven't used ribbon, but the starfish finish it off pretty well.
