I like hanging a wreath for all of the holidays. I found this Uncle Sam at RedRacks. I knew I had to use him on my wreath. I also found wooden hearts on a jute rope.
I put them away until I could find the rest of the supplies for my wreath.

A few weeks later I headed to RedRacks again to find a wreath. At last there it was hanging already painted white.
I then went to the Dollar General to find red, white and blue ribbon.
I then had all I needed.

Uncle Sam, hearts and flag ribbon.
I began removing the old decorations from the wreath. It proved to be harder than I thought. So I took out my blow dryer to soften the glue. I couldn't find my heat gun. I thought that was the next best thing. It worked like a charm.
