I wish I had grabbed some small American flags and placed them in the topiaries in my planters, but maybe I’ll add those next year. You could use this wreath for Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day or anytime you’re feeling especially thankful for living in the land of the free!
Supplies You’ll Need for a Patriotic Wreath
- Wreath form – I used a 24 inch grapevine wreath.
- Faux greenery
- 3 faux hydrangea stems
- 5 faux blueberry stems
- 2.5 inch Navy and white star ribbon
- 1.5 inch Red and white striped ribbon
- Twist ties or zip ties
- Scissors for cutting fabric
- A hot glue gun
Instructions for Making a Patriotic Wreath
1. Gather Your Materials
Before you get started, you’ll need to gather all the necessary materials. See the materials list above.
2. Add the Floral and Greenery Elements to the Wreath
You’ll want to choose some faux green leaves and fill in the wreath. Use hot glue to secure them to the wreath.
Then add the 3 large hydrangea blooms evenly on the wreath and secure with hot glue, if you’d like. Then fill in the rest of the wreath with the 5 blueberry stems. I tucked them under the hydrangeas.
3. Prepare Your Ribbon and Make a Bow
I used this tutorial for making a bow with the two ribbons I had. I simply layered the red ribbon over top of the blue ribbon to make it two-dimensional. The ribbon tails are pretty long, though, because I like that look!
Use the twist ties or zip ties to make the bow and secure the bow to the wreath form.
4. Display your Wreath and Enjoy!
Lastly, it’s time to hang your patriotic wreath and enjoy the fruits of your labor! Hang it on your front door, in your living room, or anywhere else you want to show off your love for your country.
Making a patriotic wreath is a fun and creative way to show your love for your country. By following these simple steps and gathering the necessary materials, you’ll be able to create a beautiful and festive wreath in no time.
Happy crafting, and God Bless America!
