Patriotic Fabric Wreath

My sister-in-law, Sandy,  wanted a red, white and blue wreath,  so being the good sister-in-law that I am and being that it was her birthday and being that it just so happens I had some patriotic prints in my stash-I ran to Joann’s with my 50% off coupon for the wire wreath base and found star buttons that were just the thing. I couldn’t resist getting a bouquet of navy blue roses either to add some more pizzazz. Some small white roses that were just laying around set the blue ones off nicely.

-You will need-

1 yard each of red, white and blue prints or solids

stars [I used buttons-various sizes, you could cut your own from foam core board, etc.]

wire wreath form-size of your choice-I used 20″

floral bouquet-optional

-Let’s get started-

cut 6 strips-9″ x 22″ from white

cut 7 strips-9″ x 22″ from red

cut 7 strips-9″ x 22″ from blue

-fold each strip in half, loop onto wire wreath, alternating red and white, 7 blue strips together-

-glue stars randomly on blue strips, wire or hot glue flowers-

Your wreath is ready to hang.

May the joy of crafting be upon you
