How do you keep deco mesh from fading?
A great way to prevent fading of any fabric porch décor is with a UV fabric sunblock spray. I am currently using Force Field UV Sunblock for indoor and outdoor fabrics. It has an initial low odor and dries very quickly. Always check color fastness on a non-visible part of fabric first.
What is the difference between Deco mesh and poly mesh?

The first is to glue fabric (such as felt or foam) to the back of your wreath so that it doesn’t cause any damage when it moves. You can even buy door protecting wreath pads that are designed to be tied onto the frame of your wreath and will offer the same level of protection with a simpler assembly.

What’s the best way to make Deco mesh?
Deco mesh is composed of lengthwise and widthwise fibers. Place the tip between 2 widthwise fibers. Gently rock the iron back and forth to help it “cut” through the mesh. Start on the edge of the deco mesh. It does not matter if it’s on the left or right side. Work your way across the deco mesh.
What’s the best way to cut wire mesh?
Lift the soldering iron and move it across the mesh to the next un-cut segment. Press it down again, and rock it back and forth until it cuts through the mesh. Keep doing this until you reach the other side of the mesh. The heat of the iron will cause the fibers to melt and separate.
