Let’s start with a little American pride right on your front door. Chase your quarantine blues away and give a perky festive flair to your front doors by hanging this patriotic wreath to welcome your guests most festively. The thing you will need most is your creativity! That is what makes it fun!
There is no doubt that the most awaited holiday of the season – Independence Day calls for special decor to usher in the cheerful festive flair. So, rather than buying Fourth of July decor from big box stores, why not be eco-friendly and create your own? Sadly, most people often use decorations once and then throw them out. But they can be reused year after year! So, this year, after the party’s over, take the time to store and save your decorations. You or someone you know can use it again next year, which will keep it out of the landfill. As an added bonus, you can also reuse this fantastic decoration for Memorial Day, Flag Day, or Labor Day decor.
Supplies for DIY Fourth of July Patriotic Wreath:
- Box of paper straws
- Craft ring
- Blue paper (and some practice paper)
- Scissors
- Hot-glue gun
- Pipe cleaners
How to Make a Patriotic Wreath:
Step 1: Trim the straws to your desired length and glue them to the craft ring.
Step 2: Cut out stars and fold each point to the center.
Step 3: Next, start gluing the straws down with hot glue to the craft ring in your chosen pattern. Be sure to line the ends of the straws up with the inside edge of the craft ring. Also, the straws need to be glued very close together, but slightly angled. Meaning the start of the straws will touch but will fan out away from the previous straw.
Step 4: Continue gluing the straws down until the entire craft ring is covered.
Step 5: Hot-glue one end of a pipe cleaner to the back, and wrap the other end around the straws where you want to place the star.
You will love the view of this wreath on your front door – it definitely catches your eye from the curb!
