July 4th Ribbon Wreath
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy policy.
You know I love a good wreath. Wreathes were one of the first crafts I ever made and I still love making them. From yarn to ribbon to paint, I am always up for making a new wreath.
For July 4th, I decided to start with ribbon for my wreath.
I actually started this wreath with just the solid blue wreath you see at the bottom but then I fell in love with the stars and stripes ribbon. So, I wrapped the larger portion in that ribbon. I had found the little sparkly sticks at the craft store and attached them to the bottom of the wreath.
To cover the place where I had attached the different decorations, I attached a wood shim that I painted with chalkboard paint. I used chalkboard paint so I could change the message anytime I wanted. For now, it says “freedom” but I can definitely see us changing that message up to include other patriotic ones.
Have you started doing any crafting for July 4th? I am completely astonished by how fast the summer is already slipping by! July 4th will definitely be here before we know it!

I love this wreath! It screams USO to me! It is the perfect patriotic wreath for the 4th! I love all of the little details! Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks so much for stopping by and inviting me to your party.
How fun is this! Such a cute idea to add the hint of chalkboard, too!
Take care,

Thank you so much! I wanted to be able to cover the glue from the other pieces and was so happy I had some chalkboard paint on hand.
Wow this wreath is simply gorgeous! I haven’t seen a lot of patriotic wreath ideas and I love this…I am totally inspired! I am co-hosting a party with 3 other bloggers called The Project Stash and it is starting tonight at 8:00 pm EST. I’d love for you to stop by and link up your project! There is also a Shabby Apple Giveaway!

I featured your beautiful wreath tonight!! You can see your feature here! http://www.settingforfour.com/2013/07/20-patriotic-ideas-for-fourth-of-july.html
Thanks so much for the feature.
This looks like it could really easily be turned into a table centerpiece too, with one of those big glass vases with a candle in it in the middle. Either way – it’s very festive!
