INSPIRATION

Red, White and Blue! Living in the United States my entire life, I have always loved this vibrant color combination, and I love what these three colors together represent…Freedom, Unity, Justice, Pride and Independence. For me, these colors also mean summertime, parades, barbeques, swimming pools, homemade ice cream, fireworks and good ole’ fashion neighborhood gatherings. As soon as all the patriotic decor started appearing in stores and I saw these red, white and blue bandanas, I knew I wanted to create an easy, quick, DIY wreath and share the pattern with you all! I hope your inspired to make one for you front door!

CUTTING BANDANAS

Take your first bandana and cut it in half. Cutting doesn’t have to be perfect. I just eye-balled mine but you can also measure and mark lines if you prefer. Either way works!

Cut each half in half again.

You will have 4 cut pieces per bandana.

Total pieces will equal 4 blue, 16 red and 16 white.

ATTACHING BANDANA PIECES TO WREATH

Take your first blue bandana piece and with the piece lengthwise, fold each side in toward the center. Form the piece into a loop with the tails even at the other end. Place the loop section on top of the wreath (see right photo).

Flip the even tails underneath the wreath so they are now positioned in the center of the wreath.

With your hand through the loop, and using your index finger and thumb, pinch together the two ends and pull them all the way through the loop.

While holding the tails together with one hand, push and tighten up the loop on the wreath with the other hand.

Grab the end of each tail and give it a tug while tightening and snugging the loop on the wreath. You want the piece to be as secure on the wreath as possible.

Once all 4 blue pieces are snug on the wreath, add 2 red pieces, then two white, then two red, two white and so on until all the pieces have been tied and secured on the wreath.

A QUICK TRIM

I bought my bandanas at our Dollar Tree and the fabric wasn’t quite the same quality as you will find at JoAnn’s, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, etc. They worked just fine, but did fray a little bit. I just gave my finished wreath a quick trim of loose threads before I hung it.

Flags don’t have to be rectangular and strung on a pole to represent your country with pride. This patriotic wreath will do the trick. Make one and hang it proudly on your front door!

Happy Creating!
