20 Minute 4th of July Wreath


I made a festive patriotic wreath for my front door last night.  After all, I didn't want the neighbors to think I didn't appreciate all the freedoms we all enjoy everyday.  Freedoms such as life, liberty and Happy Hour at Sonic.  These things must be celebrated!

So I celebrated....on my front door....with a wreath.  And I'm not kidding,  it took me 20 minutes start to finish!  That even included taking off all the spring decor I had pinned onto it.


Easiest Patriotic Wreath You'll Ever Make

1) Wrap ribbon around wreath form and use pins to keep it in place (then the wreath is reusable too...bonus!).

2) Make some cute paper crafted fireworks out of scrapbook paper (instructions HERE).

3) Pin the "fireworks" on as you see fit.

4) Hang on front door!
