St. Patrick's Day Clover Wreath

**Update** I have changed my blog name and moved locations. If you like my work and would love to learn more, please hop on over to http://www.polkadotorchard.com and follow me.


With another holiday sneaking around the corner, they seem to come by so quickly, I've created a beautiful wreath to show some holiday spirit. 
I cut brown and green deco mesh into 10in strips then cut it again into thirds. I then attached it to an 18in wire wreath form using floral wire. I continued adding mesh until I could no longer see the wreath form through it. Then, I added 12in strips of clover wire ribbon. 

For a final touch I added a clover flourish to the center. I designed the clover flourish then created an SVG file and cut it out with the Cricut Explore. I also used a white gel pen to add the details to the clover.
So, this is the first SVG cut I've ever created. I had an idea of what I wanted for my wreath and decided I would attempt to make it myself. It took me hours the other night to learn how to use the program, but I finally figured it out. I think it turned out pretty good for the first one I've ever made. I wonder what I'll come up with next.

I will be entering the following challenge:
