Patriotic July 4th Paper Wreath DIY

One of my little challenges for this year is to make a wreath for my front door for every season/holiday. I just love the welcoming feel a wreath provides.

So of course, I had to come up with a design for the 4th of July! I love the end result and I hope you will too. :)

The paper stars are really easy to make and here is a tutorial to recreate the wreath.

Supplies:

• Wreath (I used a wire wreath but took out the inner and outer rings to make it thinner)
• Red, white, blue card stock (I found the lovely blue one at Michael's)
• Star template download
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
• Ribbon
• Optional: A scorer for easier folding
• Optional: Distress Ink (I used the color Frayed Burlap)

Directions:

Use the template to cut out stars in three different sizes. For each star, score from one point to opposite inner angle like 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 wire frame. Use a ribbon to hang (I used red burlap).
