4th of July Wreath

Its that time of Year despite what Utah Weather says 

it is almost the 4th of July

Do you all love the 4th as much as I do?

I love the BBQs. the warmth, the sun, the fireworks

the parades, the parties, the carnivals

I love it all!

So of course I needed something for my door 

to celebrate this All American Holiday

Gotta show my love for our country 

So I made a easy and fun red, white and blue wreath!
And this was my inspiration
I just needed to make it more my own
so....

This is what you will need:

-A wreath Form (I used 2 because I wanted it to be thicker) $1 each at the dollar store

-Yarn color of your choice

-Cupcake liners of your choice (I got red, white and blue ones in different sizes at Michael's)

-Stars or other embellishments (Michael's)

-Hot glue Gun

-Hot Glue

-And something heavy to flatten out the cupcake liners

Here is what I did:

First I got all the cupcake liners ready

by layering, gluing and embellishing

I ended up making about 60 completed and layers circle 

so probably around 90 or so cupcake liners

Then it was time to flatten them out a bit

This is where my husbands Law School books came in handy

for my crafting 

(hubby rolling his eyes)

haha JK he thought it was pretty funny and creative

Law Books are so humongous and heavy I knew they would do the trick

So I put them in there every few pages 

shut the books 

and let them sit over night and the next day voila they were flat!

While those were flattening it was time to start wrapping

Grab your yarn, your wreath forms,

a good show to watch and start wrapping

Now I'm not gonna lie this wrapping part seems like it takes forever

and it kinda does

so just make sure to do it while you are watching a movie

or like me while I am watching some SYTYCD

Who else out there loves this show?

Isn't it so much fun 

Who are your favorites?

Once you are done wrapping your wreath

and all your cupcake liners are flat, embellished and ready

It is time to start gluing them to your wreath

This part has no rhyme or reason 

I just wanted them to be random

That looks the best on wreaths like this I think

Just layer, over lap, and glue glue glue

Be creative 

Use your imagination and make it your own 

Doesn't it look pretty on my DOOR

I love it!

I don't have a front door that many people see

Cuz we have a basement entrance in the back of the house

But it is so cute anyway and for those of you who see our door

I hope you love it!

Remember make it fun, use your creativity 

and if you have any questions I am happy to answer all of them

So just email me or leave a comment!
