DIY Old Glory Wreath




Labor day is upon us so why not spruce up your front door.
You could even let this hang year round
just because you're patriotic.

What you'll need:
2 grapevine wreaths about 16"
wire and or zip ties
1 American flag, 2 1/2' x 4'
burlap ribbon
stems of white flowers
stems of greens
hot glue

How to make:
Tie two wreaths together so they are a double thickness.
Use zip ties to attach them together.
But they can be wired together too.

Make sure to do this step.
Iron the flag and fold it in half lengthwise.
Hand press the fold. 
Open the flag and turn it face down. fold each
long edge to the hand pressed crease down the middle of the wreath.
Glue the top of the flag together at the seams.

Put the wreath down on the flag. Make sure the flag’s
right side is facing down on your work surface.
Take the star end of the flag and, using hot glue, glue
it to the wreath as shown. Then glue down the other
corner that is striped. Fold and glue the rest of the
material onto the wreath.  The star end of the
wreath will be glued to the back of the wreath.

Turn the wreath with the flag over. Make sure the glued
down end of the flag is to the left side of the wreath.
Gather the flag material and connect it to the upper
right side of the wreath. Attach the flag to the
right side of the wreath with a zip tie or wire.

Make a bow from burlap and wire it to the wreath
where you attached the flag.

Add a few white flowers and green leaf sprigs.
Hot glue them to the wreath.

Make a hanger with the burlap ribbon.
Glue it to the back of the wreath.
Hang the wreath and enjoy!
