I saw an idea for making a spring wreath on PINTEREST.  But, then spring came and went and I still really wanted to make it.  So, I made a trip to Michael’s thinking I could find something to make some sort of wreath with.  I wasn’t able to find the exact stuff I wanted, but while there, I had the idea to make a patriotic wreath.

Supplies:

  • Foam wreath form – white or green
  • Red, white, and blue flowers
  • Patriotic ball sprays
  • Sparkly yarn
  • Patriotic ribbon
  • Hot glue
  • Wire cutter
I wish I had gotten a white wreath instead of green, but they were out of the white.  It just took more yarn to cover it.  I purchased three skeins of yarn but only used two.  You just start wrapping the yarn around the wreath…adding hot glue as you need it.  Continue wrapping until you have reached the desired fullness.  Then you can just start adding the embellishments and flowers as you want.   Make it yours!

I am truly not a crafty person, but I was happy with my wreath.  It took me only an hour to make it. All the supplies I bought cost about $30.   I plan to keep it out for Memorial Day through July 4th.

Have you made something that you saw on Pinterest?  How did it turn out?
