Fourth of July Wreath

I am not usually one for holiday decorating.  In fact, I almost never decorate for the holidays.  But, I saw this wreath made of foil and decided to try it for myself.  I made mine out of a cheap straw wreath from Hobby Lobby that I wrapped in 50% off satin ribbon.  I attached the flowers with the cheapest nails in large numbers I could get at Lowes.  I used a box and a half and they were $1.27 a piece.  I had everything else.... so all in all, less than $5!  Yay!
Without further ado, the pictures!
3 Sheets of Red, White, and Blue Cardstock Punched Out (I have lots of extra)
Nail of Choice
Just a few flowers
Happy Fourth of July!

Up Close!
 This was really easy, really inexpensive, and super cute!  Happy Fourth of July Everyone!

  4. This is so cute! I love it! It's so festive! And I think buying nails is way cheaper than those sewing pins that I buy! I'll have to remember that next time!! {visiting from the Summer Safari!}
