I like to switch out the wreathes on the front door every month or so. Usually, I decorate for each holiday so that is pretty easy to do. However, there are times like now that have holidays I don’t really decorate for. I mean I like the Fourth of July but all that red, white, and blue drives me crazy.

I wanted to make a wreath that could be used for the Fourth of July but not one that was all red, white, and blue with stars and stripes everywhere. While shopping I found these bows that reminded me of fireworks. When I showed the bows to the girls they said pretty much the same thing. So I decided to make a Faux Fireworks Wreath. 

Faux Fireworks Wreath

Supplies:

• Wooden wreath form
• Wooden welcome sign
• Gift bows
• Craft paint
• 2 Paint brushes
• Ribbon
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Paint the front and sides of your wooden wreath form in the color of your choosing.
2. While the wreath is drying, paint your welcome sign.
3. Allow the wreath form and welcome sign to dry completely.
4. After they have dried, plug in the hot glue gun.
5. Position the welcome sign on the wreath form.
6. Apply hot glue to the back of the welcome sign and attach it to the wooden wreath.
7. Create a hanger using the star ribbon and hot glue it into place on the back top of the wreath.
8. Apply hot glue to the back of a gift bow and attach it to the wreath.
9. Repeat with remaining gift bows.
10. Allow the entire wreath to dry completely before hanging it up.

The wooden wreath form I got at Jo-Ann’s along with the wooden welcome sign and the star ribbon. I picked up the gift bows that reminded me of fireworks at the Dollar General. I made a custom grey color for the wreath by mixing dark grey, sparkly sliver, and a drop of black and white together. Originally, I was going to paint the welcome sign a solid red color but I didn’t like the way it came out so I switched to the red, white, and blue pattern.

I love how this Faux Fireworks wreath turned out!

Have a great day!
