Step 17 Some historians believe that Francis Hopkins, who was a New Jersey delegate to the Continental Congress, was the one who designed the flag, but this is also based on an invoice to the Board of Admiralty in 1780, for the design of the “flag of the United States of America.” However, as it turns out, he was not paid because others were consulted, as well.

Take one of the red bandana halves and gather it together lengthwise, then fold it in half so that you have a loop at one end. It’s time for our monthly Handcrafted Society challenge. This month the challenge was paint something red, white and blue. So of course I immediately thought of the Fourth of July. And in Utah we also celebrate our state’s birthday on the 24th of July. So decorating with red white and blue is something I love to do in June and keep up throughout the month of July! If you are here from South House Designs, welcome!! Isn’t Diane’s patriotic wreath so pretty?? How to Make an Easy Red White and Blue Star WreathThere are so many ways to add red, white, and blue to your décor, but for many, the simplest is to get some indoor throw pillows decorated in patriotic colors. You might also find that plaques, blankets, welcome mats, rugs, and hand and dish towels are cost-effective options that can help you show your patriotic side. It could also be that the color combination is so complimentary. Red and blue are primary colors that contrast beautifully, with the white adding a dash of fresh that prevents the red and blue from becoming too overwhelming. Since we used a wire floral wreath frame, it does not require a hanging loop. It can be hung directly from a standard wreath hook. Now you can hang your wreath and enjoy!

Many people just like the color combination and use it in their home decorating palettes during the whole year.You may have seen other red, white, and blue patriotic bandana wreaths online. But ours is different! While many people believe that Betsy Ross was the first seamstress of the American flag, this might not even be the truth. Many historians have found that there really is no evidence to support that she did create the first flag. It was her grandson who first told the story, which may have been untrue.

Adjust the wires to lay as you prefer. You can loosen some of the spirals to make them appear longer or tighten others to make them shorter. You can lay some closer to the wreath or pull some further away to create a larger 3D effect. The colors of red, white, and blue also make people think of summer. Longer days, barbecues, and a string of patriotic holidays likely create the connection in the minds of most Americans, but many use it for more than just hanging buntings for a Fourth of July party. Using the wire cutters, cut the gauge wire to the length you desire. This will be based on how far away from the wreath you want the star to shoot. Measure it a little longer than you desire, because the wire will have a slight spiral effect. A good starting point is 10-12 inches long.

Take a Sharpie pen, or your finger and curl the tail of the wire around. This gives the impression of the star shooting out of the flag. I demonstrate this technique in the video if you need to see it in action. To store a wreath for a short period of time, you can simply hang it in a closet or other cool, dry place. I’ve seen some people create a wall of art with all of their wreaths hanging on the wall. As I said, this is a very easy wreath to make! I also have a tip on how to paint the stars that makes it easy and you won’t get any paint on your hands! I’m sharing that below.
