Here’s what you need to make these:

  • Paper towel roll or toilet paper roll
  • Tissue paper
  • Ribbon
  • Printable label
  • wrapped candies and/or toys

June 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I can’t believe that the 4th of July is only a few weeks away!  Where has June gone?  This 4th is a special one for our family, since it is my husband’s first as a U.S. citizen so I really want to go all out.  I saw this wreath on pinterest and fell in love.  It looks pretty easy to make, just time intensive.  I guess I better get moving then.  Thanks for the idea Capital B!

Here’s what you need to make this:

  • 6 red, 6 white and 4 blue felt sheets
  • scissors
  • straight pins
  • rounded foam wreath
  • craft wire
  • white cardstock

Here’s how to make it -> Patriotic Wreath Tutorial
