DIY Patriotic Wreath Materials
- Thrift Store Garland Wreath with Plastic Base
- 5 Lengths of Red, White, and Blue Garland (I got mine at the Dollar Tree)
- Scissors
- Glittery Fireworks Bow (This and the stars below also came from the Dollar Tree)
- Glittery Foam Stars
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue



Step 1
First, remove the existing garland on your thrift store wreath so that you have an empty wreath base to work with.
Step 2
Next, take your red, white, and blue garland out of the packaging and start attaching it to the wreath base. Wrap one end of garland around a hook on the edge of the wreath base as pictured.
Step 3
Then take your garland down the front of your wreath base and wrap it around the inside hook across from the top hook you wrapped around.Step 4
Take the garland back up and wrap around the next hook on the edge of the wreath base and continue wrapping back and forth to cover your wreath.Step 5
After one garland runs out, attach another garland around the same hook where the previous one ran out. Again, continue wrapping on your wreath hooks back and forth.

Step 6
Continue wrapping the garland, adding more as needed, until your entire wreath is covered with garland.
Step 7
Once your wreath is wrapped, remove the packaging from your bow but save the twist tie from the packaging.

Step 8
Use the twist tie to attach your bow to the wreath by poking the twist tie ends through the wreath and secure them in the back.
Step 9
Lastly, glue on the glittery foam stars in sets of 3 at random on your wreath. I used one large star and 2 smaller stars in each group.
