 | | Fourth
of July Wreath
This Fourth of July
wreath is a very easy craft to make. It makes it so much more
special when you create something on your own, then to just buy a
pre-made wreath, and it will save you money too! This is a
perfect wreath to display on your front door to show your patriotism
for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and for Labor Day. 
Things Needed:- A
grapevine wreath, available at Jo-Ann.com
- Red, white, and blue star garland
- Patriotic
ribbon (I used some with a red and white stripes)
- Silk
flowers in red, white, and blue (I purchased two bunches of patriotic
flowers, complete with a little flag)
- Wire for
hanging
- Scissors
- Wire cutters
1. Begin by wrapping the
star
garland around the wreath, as you wrap around the entire circle of the
wreath, as shown. Secure by tying the garland together from
where you started.  2. Continue by wrapping
the patriotic ribbon around the
wreath several times, placing it in between where the garland wraps.
Secure the ribbon by tying it together from where you
started. Make the tie in the back, or to the left where it
will be covered with silk flowers.  3. Next get your silk
flowers ready. Below you will see the two bunches of silk
flowers I purchased. In the summertime you will probably find
something similar in your local craft store. Or, just
purchase silk flowers in red, white, and blue. Using the wire
cutters, cut off each silk flower from the bunch.
