I needed to take my Spring door decoration down since we're quickly approaching the summer solstice! I decided to create something a bit patriotic using a variety of materials.
I recycled the burlap wreath I used for Valentine's Day, some red raffia and material used to make American flags that I had picked up at a local farmer's market. (The fabric is not from an actual flag, it is rejected fabric that could not be used to make a flag.)
I started by wrapping the raffia around the burlap wreath. I didn't want to glue it onto the wreath so that I could continue using the burlap wreath for different holidays. I was able to tie a knot and the raffia stayed in place.
I cut the stars out of the fabric in a circle shape. I did this free hand since I didn't want it to be perfect looking. Then I glued the stars on - one star on each "stripe" of raffia.
I used a scrap piece of burlap to make a strap for hanging and hung the wreath in its new home!
This project was so quick and I'm really pleased with how the mix of materials work together! In less than half an hour I had the wreath hung on the door! I love quick projects that turn out so cute!
