Believe it or not, it’s already the second half of May! Memorial Day is just a week away, and the time has come to remove your spring decorations and give way to the patriotic inspiration, which doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to paint your house red, blue, and white. At tableclothsfactory.com, we believe that the best way to express your American pride is to decorate your front door with a DIY patriotic wreath. In order to get you past hours of web surfing, we’ve assembled a few wreaths, which you can easily recreate without breaking the banks!
Twigs & Flowers Patriotic Wreath
Very likely, your schedule is too tough for making detailed wreaths. Fortunately, our online store offers a natural grapevine twig wreath. Crafted from natural materials, it can become a perfect foundation for any classic twig & flowers wreath for your front door (however, it’s gorgeous enough to be displayed as it is!) – just stock up on your favorite flowers and give way to your creativity!
Supplies
- Natural grapevine twig wreath;
- Hydrangeas in red, blue, and white. Though you can stock up on as many bouquets as you wish, we strongly recommend you go for only a few ones in order to leave those adorable twigs and moss exposed;
- Scissors;
- Glue gun.
Instructions
- In order to make sure that the flowers are easy to work with, you can cut off the excess stems.
- Apply some glue to the red hydrangea and insert it between the twigs.
- Repeat this procedure with the white and blue hydrangeas. To achieve an elegant look without much effort, cover one-third of the wreath form with the flowers.
- Separate a few individual hydrangea flowers from each cluster.
- Apply them to the opposite side of the wreath form for a balanced look.
- Voila – your wreath is ready to be displayed on your front door!
Grosgrain Ribbon Wreath
In case you are a minimalist at heart, or your décor calls for something more unusual than a classic vine wreath, you can give a chance to our Grosgrain Ribbon Wreath. Like the one described above, it’s extremely easy to recreate!
Supplies
- Standard foam wreath form;
- Grosgrain ribbon in red, white, and blue;
- Glue dots;
- Star-shaped confetti;
- Scissors;
- Straight pins.
Instructions
- Wrap the white ribbon around the entire wreath form.
- Secure both ends of the ribbon with the straight pins.
- Get four pieces of the red ribbon.
- Use a piece of the ribbon to wrap around a small section of the wreath form.
- Secure the red ribbon with the straight pin.
- Repeat the procedure with the other pieces of the red ribbon to get the red/white striped pattern.
- Cut off a large piece of the blue ribbon.
- Use it to cover one-third of the wreath form.
- Use glue dots to attach star-shaped confetti to the blue area of the wreath.
Burning Passion Leaf Wreath
Are you looking for something truly one-of-a-kind? There’s no need to google for time-consuming, detailed wreaths or purchase ready-made ones. Believe it or not, it’s possible to win everybody over without breaking the banks or spending all your precious time trying to put together something really complicated – our Burning Passion Leaf Wreath will definitely tuck all your worries away!
Supplies
- Foam wreath form;
- Burning Passion leaves;
- Straight pins;
- Glue dots or a hot glue gun.
Instructions
- As you might have noticed, all our Burning Passion leaves come in clusters with bendable stems. That said, in order to attach one of the clusters to the wreath form, first up, you’ll need to wrap the bendable stems around the wreath form.
- Once the bendable stems are on the wreath, use our glue dots in order to secure the leaves (you can also use our hot glue gun or duct tape).
- Do the same with the other leaf clusters trying to alternate each color.
- Separate individual leaves from the remaining clusters and glue them to the stems into order to conceal the latter.
- To prevent the leaves from falling off, secure them with the straight pins.
There’s no doubt that wreath-making can be budget-friendly and not time-consuming – either way, you will always need a wreath form and complementary decorations, like flowers, ribbons, you name it. Whatever idea comes to your mind, we are always at your service with a vast range of inexpensive yet high-quality event decorations and party supplies.
