Patriotic Tulle Wreath Supplies
- Metal wreath frame (mine is 18 inches, but any size will do)
- 6-inch wide red, white and blue tulle – 1 20-yard roll of each
- 6-inch square cardboard piece
- Sewing shears
- Star embellishments (I found mine at Michaels with the July 4th decor)
- Hot glue

Directions:
- Wrap the tulle around the cardboard square, starting at one end and wrapping until you reach the end of the roll. Trim each of the folded ends of the rolled tulle with shears to form a stack of squares. Repeat to create a stack of squares with all three tulle colors.
- Gather a square of the blue tulle together, and fold the tube in half. Attach the piece to the ring of the metal wreath using a slipknot. Continue adding blue pieces in this fashion to cover 1/3 of the wreath.
- When the blue section is complete, add alternating sections of red and white tulle using the same slipknot technique. Continue until you have covered the entire circumference of the wreath with tulle.
- To finish, use hot glue to affix the star embellishments over the blue section of the wreath.
