Servings: 1 July 4th Patriotic Paper Wreath
Cost: $15
Equipment
- 1 Home printer
- 1 Hot glue gun
Ingredients
- 8 Page Cardstock 8.5″ x 11″ Red, White, and Blue
- 1 Wire Wreath
- 1 Pair Scissors
- 1 Roll Ribbon
Instructions
- Click to download the 'free-patriotic-wreath-diy-stars-template.pdf' file and save the file on your computer.
- Open the file on your computer and print the page using your color printer and some 8.5x11 inch card stock.
- Use the template to cut out stars in three different sizes.
- To assemble each star, score from one point to the opposite inner angle as shown by the line. Repeat for all 5 points. Fold on every line.Pinch each point to get the 3D effect (it helps to pinch the points two by two).
- Once you have a selection of stars ready, you can hot glue them to the wireframe. Use a ribbon to hang (I used red burlap).
Notes
- Use patterned paper or cardstock in different shades of red, white, and blue. This will add more depth and variety to your wreath.
- Try experimenting with different color schemes, such as using metallic or pastel colors, to give your wreath a unique twist.
- To simplify the project, consider using pre-cut star shapes or using a large star-shaped punch to speed up the cutting process.
- Consider using a different type of ribbon, such as a striped or patterned ribbon, to add some extra flair to your wreath.
- Instead of using a circular wireframe, try using a star-shaped or heart-shaped wireframe for a unique twist on the classic wreath shape.
