Ready to celebrate flag day or looking forward the to fourth of July? Then add this Americana Door Wreath to your home for a touch of patriotic home decor! Your fourth of July will not be complete without a wreath of red, white, and blue! Of course I had to add a little farmhouse flair to the American flag! 🙂
I used a burlap covered wreath form. Then I made a series of shabby roses. Just used strips of fabric — twist and turn til you have a great shabby rose! Add them to your wreath with a touch of hot glue.
For a mix of textures, I used white cotton, blue and white ticking, and red canvas…
Then for the finishing touch — an americana bunting banner to top it off!
Our goodwill is moving so they are marking everything down. I found a little baby outfit that was flag themed. Cutting that into little triangles gave me the perfect bunting for my wreath! I sewed my triangles onto a red ribbon then used hot glue to secure it to the wreath. You don’t have to sew the bunting…glue will work in a pinch!
I love the way my wreath turned out! Shabby farmhouse with a touch of patriotism!
The perfect door decor for the season! A great way to welcome your guests for any summer bash!
Are you ready for the fourth of July? What red, white, and blue themed decor are you dreaming up?
~Thanks for stopping by!~

Thank you so much for the post. I love it. You inspired me to make a similar one. I sewed the rosettes on through the straw wreath and sewed a twine hanger on the back. I wanted to ask if you have any helpful hints to create a simple way to hang the wreath other than attaching a ribbon. Something you can’t see like yours above.
