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:
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.  4.
Continue making the Fourth of July wreath by taking each
flower, one at a time, and placing on the left side of the wreath.
Secure each flower by bending the stem following the curve of
the wreath, and pushing the stem through the grapevine wreath.
The branches alone are usually enough to hold the flowers in
place, or you can hot glue them if necessary. Arrange the
flowers in a pretty pattern along the left side and bottom of the
wreath.    5. Finish the Fourth of
July wreath by adding a wire to the back of the grapevine wreath for
hanging.
