How I Made a Very Starry Patriotic Wreath
Have you ever made a patriotic wreath? The great thing about patriotic star wreath ideas is that you can use it for Memorial Day, Flag Day, and the Fourth of July. So you can put it up May through July if you like!
See how I used glittery stars to make a red, white, and blue wreath that only cost me about a dollar! And it didn’t even take long to make!
Today I’m joining some other bloggers in sharing some DIY crafts with you, hosted by Chloe at Celebrate and Decorate. You can find their projects at the end of this post. Wasn’t Terrie’s quick Lantern Change easy to do?! She always has great ideas.
So last year I made this Star Wreath by upcycling an old Christmas tree. But the little blue flowers faded in the sun, so I decided to remake it. I hope you like this version!
How I Made this Patriotic Wreath
Start with a star shaped wreath. (This could be a star shaped wreath form that you saved when whatever else was on it faded in the sun….)
Add faux greenery that you salvaged from an old Christmas tree that your neighbor threw out because the lights didn’t work. (Please tell me I’m not the only one?…..)
If you chose a good throw-away tree, the pieces will bend like a twisty-tie and you can just bend it to attach it to the star shaped wreath form. And if it’s a great quality faux branch, the needles will not fall off.
Use enough faux greenery to completely cover the star shape.
Spray paint it white.
- Then use red, white, and blue star garland and glitter stars.
- Wrap the star garland around the wreath.
- Secure it well.
- Use wire cutters to snip the glitter stars and then attach them to the wreath. The middles turn so they are 3D.
They are so fun! Some are marked Hobby Lobby and others are marked The Christmas Shop.
Lastly, add large styrofoam glitter stars.
I put a big star in the center of the wreath.
And that is how you can make this very starry wreath for Memorial Day or the Fourth of July!
Watch the Video to see how easy it is!
Now here are the rest of the creative ideas. I hope they inspire you to make something!
I think Chloe’s Faux Fruit Props, next on the list, are a pretty creative idea! (All of us love comments, so if you have a few extra minutes, stop by and encourage these crafty creators.)

Liberty, it looks like we both used the star garland from Dollar Tree for our patriotic wreaths! I love how yours sparkles with the silver tinsel. It reminds me of fireworks! It’s amazing how much money we save on craft supplies by shopping at DT. It was fun hopping with you again 🙂
A bit of sparkle is always wonderful for a patriotic holiday, Liberty. Your wreath is so cute! Thanks for sharing it.

Your front door will look all decked out for the holiday with your red, white and blue star wreath! I would probably add some little battery operated lights to mine! It looks like a sparkling firework all ready for the Fourth of July!
Love your sparkly patriotic wreath, Liberty! Happy Memorial Day weekend! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Wow Liberty! Is that ever pretty! Don’t know what the old one looked like, but I love this version!

I love your star wreath and how sparkly it is! Thank you so much for sharing and wonderful crafting with you
Very festive Liberty! What a great idea to use a star shaped wreath to decorate for the summer holidays! I love your tilting stack of red white and blue pots too, super cute!
What a great way to repurpose a Christmasy wreath. You’re right there are so many different days you can use red white and blue. Your site looks different, is it my imagination? I like it. Thanks for being in the hop today.
Well, I did update my theme about 7 months ago….. and I do try to change my home page to go with upcoming holidays…. I’m not sure what caught your eye today!
