How to Make a 4th of July Wreath in 15 Minutes (Without Glue!)

June 19, 2017 by Laura Kiernan 12 Comments

Celebrate Independence Day with a quick, patriotic craft! Learn how to make a 4th of July wreath in just 15 minutes or less – no glue necessary – with this ultra-simple tutorial.

Easy DIY patriotic wreath tutorial for the 4th of July

How many times have you gone to a craft store with your small child, and left with a bag filled with tiny plastic animals, a tub of chokey beads, a dozen packs of stickers, a coloring book, and nothing that you planned to buy?

If so, then you’ll appreciate (and maybe be a bit envious of) the Saturday afternoon that I had all to myself at Michael’s.

No lie, I walked up and down every aisle at least twice, simply because I could.

One of the projects I bought supplies for during that trip is an easy 4th of July wreath that reminds me of sweaty summer picnics, swatting bees away from my glass of lemonade while burgers cook on the grill. There are two wonderful things about this patriotic wreath:

  1. You can make it in 15 minutes or less.
  2. You don’t need glue.

So let’s get started!

Supplies to Make a 4th of July Wreath

To make this simple wreath you’ll need:

  • Woven plastic paper plate holder (found in-store at Michael’s; or try the wicker-style kind)
  • Mini American flags
  • Red, white and blue faux floral pick (similar here)
  • Wire cutters

How to Make a 4th of July Wreath

I typically make wreaths with grapevine, foam, wire, or straw forms so I tried something different this time. Do you remember those woven paper plate holders from the 70’s and 80’s? Well, this plastic version makes a great wreath form and is a little ode to summer BBQ’s.

First, you’ll want to cut up the floral bouquet with your wire cutters to make individual stems. Then, play around with the floral layout until you find a look you like. Once you’ve decided on where each flower will be, jam the ends of each floral pick between the gaps in the plate holder’s weave.

Then, trim the floral pick stems so they aren’t too long, and tuck them back up between the plate holder’s weave. The stems will appear woven into the plate, and this secures them to the plate without glue. The flowers will hide the ends of the stems.

Lastly, use a firm hand to push the flag poles through the plate as shown above and slip a patriotic ribbon through the plate to make a simple hanger.

    This sounds like me going to the craft store all by myself Laura. I recently had to limit my craft spending and invest in over $100 in storage container, but Michaels has such great deals they are hard to pass up. I love this wreath and it’s so easy to make, it would look great on my door.
