4th of July Wreath

I wanted to make a patriotic wreath for our front door after seeing a few inspiration photos on Pinterest:

I had planned to make a version of the first wreath pictured with the chipboard stars, but Hobby Lobby didn’t have the supplies I needed.  So, I improvised…

First I came across a set of die-cut paper to make pinwheels.  The rest was easy… I picked up a wreath form and some yarn I think I had all that was needed.

I wrapped the wreath in the yarn thanks to inspiration found here.

Then I made the pinwheels, and used super glue to hold them together.  The pinwheels came with little tacks to secure them, so I just poked the pins into the styrofoam wreath form, and secured with a bit more superglue.  The pins could easily be embellished with some cute buttons too.  :)

A piece of burgundy satin ribbon around the top completed the project.

Voila!

Oh and I may have made these for Father’s day too.  They were entirely too much fun.
