Easy 4th of July Wreath

Hi Friends !

 

I hope you are doing well.

 

 I am enjoying a break from our early heat wave !

 

I was working on this easy wreath.

 

 

 

 

This is the base that I used,  It was a Christmas wreath.

 

The diameter is 9''. 

 

My dollar store had SO MANY after Mardi Gras was over, they marked them down to FREE !

 

 

Yes, please and thank you very much!

 

 

 

I just cut off the tinsel.....and this is the wreath frame.

 

I used scissors to cut off the top hanging loop.
 

 

 

 

 

I used this velvet type bow, but you can use other ribbon or fabric

 

with stars and stripes.

 

The bow was easy to take apart. It was held together with a twist tie.

 



 

 

To make the number 4,  I used 3 of these thin wood

 

plant sticks.

 

 

 

 

I started with the star material, I wrapped about 1/4 of the wreath.

 

 

Then used hot glue to hold in place.

 

 



 



 

 

Then wrapped the stripes

 

 

 

 

When I finished the wreath it looked like this-

 

 

 

 

Lay your wood pieces out. Mark where you need to cut.

 

This thin wood can be cut with scissors.

 

Use wood glue or white glue to hold your '4' together.
 

 I use white acrylic paint, and a black paint pen to write July.













 



 

I used hot glue to attach to wreath.

 

 



This small wreath can sit on a shelf.

I put mine on the mantle.

What do you think ?

Let me know if you like this wreath and plan to make it !
