Memorial Day will be here before we know it. If you don't have a huge amount of time to decorate with all things red, white and blue, don't stress. We've got you covered. It's not too late to get into the spirit with some simple crafts you can make at home.
For me, summertime means red, white, and blue! I just love decorating for Memorial Day and Fourth Of July, and I think it’s important to decorate with the right pieces and fill my home with handmade items that remind me of all the things I love about America.
That's why I was so excited to find this Stars and Stripes wreath — made with straws! It's a fun way to celebrate in style on a small budget. The finished product really pops with color when it's finished. Patriotism never looked so chic.
This simple craft can stay up all summer through Labor Day — or, if you love red, white, and blue decorations as much as I do, you can keep it up longer to show your love for America year-round.
Read the step-by-step tutorial below to see how to make this festive wreath in just a few easy steps!
Here's what you need:
1. First, cut out the center of the white doily.
2. Glue the doily to the foam ring.
3. Cut a handful of blue straws in half.
4. Next, begin gluing the straws to the foam craft ring — alternating between the red and blue straws until you've made your entire way around the foam ring.
5. After everything is dry, super-glue the star decorations to the wreath.
The final product:
This cute decoration definitely adds a festive touch to my home. It truly stands out and lights up the room. (For those wondering, I used double-coated mounting tape to securely mount the wreath on my wall.)
After adding a few extra patriotic decorations, I'm ready to host a party for my family and friends.
