I love to decorate the outside of my home for each season and always do! Since Memorial Day was approaching I needed to get busy and figure out what I was going to put on my door. I was going to buy a new wreath and then I realized I already had an old one that was already decorated but boy was it looking rather tired. I removed all the old things from it and added some nice shiny wired red ribbon.
Gathered up all different kinds of patriotic items...
I had some nice things to choose from....
I grabbed my glue gun and added a God Bless America picture that I purchased at the Christmas Tree Shop...
I had three blocks that say, America, Freedom and Liberty, also from the Christmas Tree Shop that were red, white and blue, just perfect...
I made a big Americana bow and attached that to the wreath with wire...
Gathered up some red berries to add some interest and tucked it in the wreath and hot glued them...
I had a spool of some old jute and three red, white and blue stars, I glued the stars to the jute to hang from the center of my wreath. I wired the jute to my wreath...
My finished Memorial Day wreath hung on my front door...
I hope you had a wonderful "Memorial Day" weekend!
