Patriotic Yarn Wreath

Show off your American pride this 4th of July with a patriotic flag yarn wreath. One of my favorite things about holidays and seasons of the year is being able to change my wreath on my front door for every occasion. My husband and I have an annual cook-out at our house which makes it even more fun to decorate. I will definitely post more pictures of the cook-out and different décor items later. My husband is fantastic with the smoker. I can’t get enough of the smoked BBQ ribs, chicken, and even brisket. I must be hungry talking about all this food so back to the wreath right?
This wreath is also inexpensive to make with only a few supplies. I also love being able to make it once and then reuse it every year if I want to. So let’s get started.


I chose to use a straw wreath because it was so much cheaper than the styrofoam. Be sure the plastic wrapping is still intact as I said before or you will not be able to wrap the yarn around and make it look clean.
Continue wrapping your yarn around the wreath until you have ¼ of the wreath covered in red yarn. And by continue wrapping, I do mean wrap and wrap and wrap until you think you cannot wrap anymore. Lol!
There is nothing like an American flag with those white shining stars. Spray paint your wooden stars. I didn’t pick any particular number but just laid some out on my wreath before painting in order to figure out how many I would need. (Skip this step if you are using white buttons.)


Once your stars are dried completely, lay them out on your wreath until you have the perfect layout you like. Then glue them down using your hot glue gun. Be sure to not put too much glue on the star or the glue will run out the sides of the star when you push it down and will show.
You can now hang your wreath and enjoy the beautiful patriotic colors this 4th of July.


Enjoy your holiday. Be sure to eat some smoked ribs, indulge in some homemade peach ice cream, and watch some beautiful fireworks. But most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy the little things in life!
