Patriotic wreath

I made my door a pretty wreath this weekend! I say this shamefaced but I still had my Easter egg wreath up. Yeap, my door needed a summer face lift. I got my inspiration from A Night Owl Blog who had the cutest tulle wreath. As I was thinking about buying the supplies, I realized that I had the white tulle, a whole roll of it, and the blue and red fabric with stars on it I've had for years that my Granny gave me! The mission was on =)

Supplies: Wreath form, fabric, tulle, rotary cutter or scissors

I just eyeballed my strips of fabric and cut them about 6 inches long and about 2-3 inches wide. I tied the strips around the wreath and alternated my fabric and tulle.

Finished piece! Looks so much better in natural light! =) I'm satisfied with it. I think I need to raise it up a tad to be centered in the window but that just might be me and my weirdness, lol
