We adore this DIY! While perfect for the Fourth of July, we think it can adorn doors 365 days a year. Wire wreaths, like the one we used, come in all sizes and shapes. Have fun customizing one you pick for yourself, or one to give away. This would make an amazing gift for a military spouse or family!
Materials
• 18” Wire Wreath Frame (HL)
• Clothespins (I used 100) (WM)
• Wooden Stars, Assorted Sizes (HL)
• Spray Paint (Red, White, Blue, Black) (WM)
• Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
• Door Hanger (WM)
• Clear Acrylic Waterproof Spray Paint, Gloss
*Materials purchased from Hobby Lobby(HL), Lowe’s(L) or Walmart(WM) unless I had them on hand
Method
Paint the wire frame black (mine was green). Paint all sides of 42 clothespins in red, 22 in blue, and 36 in white. Paint the stars white as well. Let dry.
Attach all of the blue clothespins first. Start by skipping the outside wire, and attach a clothespin to the second wire and third wire. The next clothespin should be attached to the third and fourth (inside) wire. Alternate the rest of the blue clothespins on the frame. Now, using the same method, add six red clothespins, then six white, continuing this pattern until you have circled the frame.
Hot glue the wooden stars to the blue clothespins in a random pattern of your choice. Spray entire wreath with a coat of clear acrylic waterproof paint. Once dry, hang and enjoy!
