Easy DIY Flag Wreath Directions:
1. Cut your material into the following lengths and pieces:
16 blue pieces of fabric, cut to 24″ x 1-½”
24 red pieces of fabric, cut to 24″ x 1-½”
24 white pieces of fabric, cut to 24″ x 1-½”
2. Paint 3 wooden craft stars white. Allow to dry completely.
3. Wrap 16 pieces of blue fabric around the wreath form by tying a slip knot. Simply Fold the piece of material in half top to bottom so that you make a loop and put it around the wreath body with the loop side down. Pull the other end down through the loop and pull it tight.
4. Press each tied blue piece together as you go.
5. Stop when you have ¼ of the wreath form covered.
6. Add red and white fabric to the wreath form using a slip knot.
7. Alternate 3 red followed by 3 white, pressing pieces together as you go until the entire wreath form is covered.
8. Flip over the wreath form and pull up on each piece of fabric, moving the knot forward and tightening it as you go.
9. Trim the ends of the fabric if desired (the ends were trimmed for uniformity in this craft tutorial).
10. Adhere your three painted, 3 white stars on to the blue fabric section of your wreath with hot glue.
11. Add a piece of string or hanging device to the back to hang.
