Fourth of July Ribbon Wrapped Wreath Tutorial - Sweet Shoppe Mom

I love decorating my home for the holidays and have bins (and bins and bins) full of holiday decorations. Some holidays I go all out (Christmas, Halloween, and Easter) and other holidays including the Fourth of July a few festive centerpieces, mantel updates, and a wreath for the door.

This has been the year of wreath crafting for me and I wanted to create something for the Fourth of July. I prefer more subtle 4th of July decorations and planned out a yarn wrapped wreath with paper stars. But as time was running out I went with this quick and simple design.

Need more Fourth of July inspiration for festive ways to celebrate?

Fourth of July Wreath DIY

Materials needed for the July 4th wreath

foam wreath form
several kinds of red, white, and blue ribbon – solid, striped, polka dots, stars, gingham. It all works. An assortment of patterns and widths looks best.
straight pins
string
red card stock
glue
number and letter stamps (two sizes)*
blue ink pad

*I linked to a rubber stamp set that is similar to what I used. Amazon has several options. Another great source is craft stores like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby.

Fourth of July wreath instructions

Cut a piece of ribbon and attach it to the wreath form with a pin (pin on the backside to hide). Wrap the ribbon around the form to cover a portion of the form and attach the end with a pin on the back backside. Select a second piece of ribbon a repeat. Keep wrapping with ribbon until the entire wreath form is covered. Mix of the patterns and vary the portion of the form that each ribbon covers.
Cut 5 triangles out of the red craft paper. Stamp them with July 4th with blue ink. Glue the triangles to the string and attach to the wreath.
Cut a strip from a wider width of the ribbon to make a wreath hanger.

Hang on your front door and enjoy the holiday. Happy Fourth!
