It’s the last week of June & the 4th of July is right around the corner. I needed a new patriotic wreath to welcome in the holiday. Using items I had on hand, I made this.

patriotic wreath, crafts, patriotic decor ideas, seasonal holiday decor, wreaths

This is the wreath that is hanging on my door, just in time for the 4th of July. It was so easy to make & since it was made with supplies that I had on hand, it was free!

The first thing that I did was to wrap red, white & blue ribbon around a willow wreath.

I made a bow from sheer blue ribbon & secured it with a chenille stem. Then I inserted the ends of the chenille stem into the top of the wreath. Make sure that the ends go in at different parts of the wreath.

I pulled the bow tightly to the wreath & then twisted the ends into a loop for hanging.

I cut up the last of my glitter berries that I had from Christmas, into small pieces.

I had this 4th of July decoration from last year. I cut the star sprays off & them cut the sprays in half.

I hot glued the berries & star sprays in an among the bow.

I tucked 2 flags into the willow wreath at the bottom. Then I added some hot glue to the base

Add some stars from the star sprays to cover the glue.

These were some left over flag tooth picks that I thought would be perfect for this project.

I added 2 more flags to the sides of the wreath just to balance it out, Then I glued in the flag tooth picks in & around the bow & some at the base of the bottom flags. And it's done! Happy Creating everyone!
