Patriotic Heart Wreath

Memorial Day is coming up this weekend! I wanted to make a easy, fast wreath that kids or anyone can really do. You'll need about 3/4 yd of any fabric of your choice, just looks better with 3....or more! You can mix it up any way you want, or use colors that go well with the room.
I purchased the wire heart wreath at Walmart...really inexpensive! This will work with round shape wreath also. While I was there, I purchased the red, white and blue fabric, 1/4 yd each. The first thing I did with this project is to get out my pinking shears to cut the fabric. I cut 8" L x 1 1/2" wide strips in each color.
I'm sorry about the bad pic above. As you can see I started with the bottom of the heart. I made a couple of the red and white strips a little longer so they can go around bottom of heart. I tied the strips around the three wires making the heart. I put blue and white in the upper left hand corner.
I then started the blue and white at the top left side.
I just kept on wrapping the strips around the wreath. I didn't tie in a knot. If you want to tie in a knot, then I suggest making them 1/2" longer. This is how it looked when done.
I then took some red and blue beads I had purchased from the dollar store. I hot glued them to the back of heart on top
Then I added red, white and blue glitter....now I have a wreath on my door! I hope you make it...so easy! Check out my other projects at: https://kelleysdiy.com/
