Thanksgiving deco mesh garland

My first attempt at making a deco mesh garland...used a dollar store 9-feet garland, pipe cleaners, brown 21-inch deco mesh, orange 8-inch deco mesh, 6-inch burlap, 2-inch wired ribbon, a few thanksgiving sprays. I followed one instruction on Pinterest that said to skip every other tie. I don't think I'll do this on my next garland. Didn't quite like how the garland turned out. The "poofs" looked uneven.
