Easy wreath for the 4th of July
Click picture for a larger view

Make this insanely simple wreath and look like a star this 4th of July. Hang it on your front door to welcome your friends and family to your get together or take it with you as a gift to YOUR host.

You will need:

11 yards 1" wide red-white-and-blue ribbon
20" grapevine wreath
Three 4" x 6" American flags
Floral wire


If you make this project we'd love to see it! Just send your photos and comments to the editor and it may get published on this page!

Instructions:

Weave 2 1/2 yards of ribbon through the grapevine wreath. Glue the ends of the ribbons together; this is the bottom of the wreath.

Arrange three flags at the bottom of the wreath in a fan shape so they slightly overlap; glue the flags in place. Use a small amount of glue to secure the edges of the flags where they overlap.

Cut two 36" lengths of ribbon and fashion a small multi-loop bow from each piece; tie with floral wire. Glue a bow to each side of the wreath.

Use the remaining ribbon to make one large multi-loop bow. Glue bow to the bottom of the wreath to cover glued sections of ribbon and flags.
