My Fourth of July Wreath

Since 4th of July is tomorrow, I thought it might be fitting if I share My Fourth of July Wreath.  Gotta love me some red, white and blue!!

I headed over to Hobby Lobby since most of the fabric was on sale-Yay!!  I purchased 1/2 yard big red polka dots and 1/2 yard small navy blue polka dot fabric.  I had no idea what I would do with it until I got home.

I have an 12 inch straw wreath, some vintage lace, and some burlap that I was thinking about incorporating, somehow.

Hmmm…what should I do???

Since I like raw edges, I tore 4 inch strips from the width of each fabric.

I wrapped the navy blue polka dot fabric around 2/3 rds of the wreath.  I cut 3 inch strips of burlap to wrap around the other 3rd of the wreath, hot gluing each end as I held the fabric tight.

Using the red polka dot strip, I used a gathering stitch along the length of my fabric.  I gathered the fabric very carefully as not to break the thread.  I gathered it so tight that it made a rosette.  Using hot glue I attached it on the burlap.  I found an antique button to hot glue in the middle of the rosette.  Love it!!

Tying a loop with the vintage lace I now had a hanger for my wreath.

Doesn’t she look so patriotic on our front door?

With a few strips of fabric, a wreath and some burlap, I was able to create my Fourth of July Wreath.  Such a cinch with a big impact.

Thanks for stopping by to visit today.  I truly am grateful.
