What you'll need:

  • Foam wreath
  • Wood letters (USA)
  • White craft paint
  • Paintbrush
  • 3 sheets white felt
  • 2 sheets red felt
  • 1 sheet blue felt
  • Scissors
  • Red, white, and blue glitter glue
  • White craft glue
  • Patriotic star garland

How to make it:

  1. Paint the letters white and set aside to dry. (See photo.)
  2. Cut white and red felt into strips approximately 2" wide.
  3. Cover a 3" section of the wreath with white glue. Begin wrapping the white felt around the wreath, overlapping as you go. You can secure the beginning of your felt with a thumbtack if you like. Continue wrapping and glue until you run out of white felt. Finish wrapping with the red felt. (See photo.)
  4. Now that the letters are dry, paint each one with glitter glue, using a different color for each letter. Set aside to dry. (See photo.)
  5. Insert the beginning of the star garland under a piece of the wrapped felt. Wrap the garland around the wreath, inserting the end of the garland into the felt. Secure both ends with some white glue. (See photo.)
  6. When the letters are dry, glue them to the top of the wreath.
  7. Cut the blue felt into 1" wide strips and glue them together end to end to create a ribbon. When dry, tie it into a bow then glue to the bottom of the wreath and trim the ends.
  8. Cut some more of the patriotic star garland into 6" long pieces and glue them under the blue bow. Let everything dry.

Tips:

  1. Glitter glue is available from discount department stores and craft supply stores.
  2. Foam wreaths are available at craft supply stores.
  3. Instead of blue felt, simple use some wide blue ribbon or even a long strip of fabric for the bow.
