Crafting with Kara- Quick and Easy Patriotic Wreaths

Do you remember last year when Kara made this wreath?

Well recently we were at the Dollar Tree, and we noticed they had some different  fun shapes, and some more of the red, white and blue garland. We decided to buy some of  the items, and come up with some more styles of the Quick and Easy Patriotic Wreath.

Here she is posing with the supplies for the shooting star wreath. She used one blue garland, a small straw wreath, and a shooting star.

She wrapped the garland around the wreath form.

One garland fits the small wreath perfectly 

She used twist ties to attach the shooting star to the small wreath. 

To make the larger wreath, we used a large straw wreath, 2 red and blue garland, and a hanging star.  The wire garland was in the picture in case we used it, but we decided not to. 

Once the wreath was wrapped with the two strands of garland, a tinsel star was attached in the center.

Super simple, but perfect for both Memorial Day and the 4th of July.

Crafting with Kara-Quick Patriotic Wreath

We were at the Dollar Tree recently when Kara saw some red, white and blue items.  She said she had an idea and asked if she could buy a few to make a craft.    She picked up a wreath, two blue garlands with stars, and some bows.  She couldn't decide if she wanted large or small, so she bought both.

She started wrapping the garland around the wreath.  The two garlands were the perfect to size to wrap the wreath entirely.

It looks pretty with just the garland, but it is not quite finished.

She decided on the big bow. It gave it more of a wow factor.

We found the perfect place to hang it.

It is perfect for Memorial Day and the 4th of July.  The best thing is that with all the supplies at the dollar store, it also only costs a couple of dollars to make.
