DIY 4th of July Flag Wreath

Happy 4th of July my fellow Americans!

A time for grand displays of patriotism more than any other day of the year.  This means flags, fireworks and food: 3 things Americans do BIG...except for this wreath!  Instead of giant flags this beauty is covered in dozens of little flags.  Hey, when you can't go big, go for a lot right?!

Let's Go!

You will need:

-Wreath form (or pool noodle with ends connected)

- 2 packages of toothpick flags

- 1 package toothpick stars (optional)

-Star Garland

- Tulle (red or blue)

-2 small American Flags

**I got the toothpick flags and stars in the party section of Hobby Lobby!**

1. Wrap the entire wreath form in the tulle. 

Keep wrapping until most of the white is gone.

3. Wrap the star garland in the same manner as the tulle.

4. Insert flags! Start from the outside and work your way in, creating an outer ring and then 3 more inner rings for a total of 4 overlapping rings of flags.

5. Insert stars! I put a set of red/white/blue stars at the top, bottom and both sides but you can put them all the way around if you have enough!

6. Place Small flags on the wreath.  I put mine off-center to the left, but you may place them where ever you find to be aesthetically pleasing.  To attach them I simply wedged them under the garland wire!

Ta-Da!  A patriotic masterpiece to display proudly on your front door!

Happy Crafting and...
