Memorial Day or 4th Of July Wreath

Using my Simple Holiday Wreath video as a guideline you can create a Memorial/4th Of July wreath by using the following:

• 1 Metal Wreath Ring measuring 14 inch in diameter. I purchased mine at Dollar Tree. 
• 2 American Flags. The ones I used measured 10 inches from top to bottom and were purchased at Walmart. They came in a 4 pack for around $2. 
• 4 Christmas ornament hooks or you can use thin wire if you have that on hand. 
• The following yarn was used:
• Red Heart Super Saver Yarn called Americana. This is a multicolored (red, white and blue) yarn and the each skein was 5 oz (236 yards). I used 1 1/2 skeins so make sure to purchase 2. I bought it online at Walmart.com for $3.84 a piece at time of post.
• Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo called Soft Navy. This is a solid color and the skein was 14 oz (744 yards). I used around half of it. Purchased at  Walmart.com for $6.09 at time of post. 

To make the wreath, you will need pom pom makers like the ones I use in the video. 

Using the Americana yarn, make 24-27 big pom poms.

Using the Soft Navy make 75-80 smaller pom poms

You will attach them to the wreath by flipping the wreath ring upside down and tying them to it like I did in the video. 

Work your way around the wreath until you get the fullest you want. 

This is when you flip it back the right way.

Once the pom poms are all attached, use the Christmas hooks, or thin pieces of wire, to wrap the tops of the flags and attach to the wreath ring. Do the same with the bottoms of the flags.

Of course you can choose to try to glue them on (with clear glue or a hot glue gun) however doing it this way will allow you to change out design.

Finally, add a cord, or something similar, to the back to use to hang the wreath.
