Are you like me? Did you wait until the absolute last minute to make a cute 4th of July decoration?

Well, this one only took about 45 minutes and I found all supplies at Walmart.

If you ever need inspiration, one of my favorite places to look is eighteen25. Have you been to their website? Precious.

Dearest Mr. B had the wonderful opportunity to help me with this one since the kids are at Grandma Camp 2011.

Materials gathered.

We cut 5, 2″ x 14″ strips.

Then we tied the yarn and began rotating the Elmer’s foam board.

Helpful hint #1:  Rotate the foam board, not the yarn. It will be faster for you and it will keep the yarn closer together with less effort.

Finish all 5 sticks with whatever colors you like!

Stand back and admire 🙂

Helpful Hint #2:  Use what you have! We chose Galvanized Wire because that is what we had! I liked that it would give it a little more vintage-y feel.

To cover the unfinished edges, I used hot glue, wooden stars and glitter star stickers.

I was hoping for a not-your-usual-round wreath with a 4th of July kick… and I think it worked!
