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).
- 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.
