I am in love with my new front door wreath.  It just screams patriotic joy!

What’s great about this wreath is that it can work for May and July.

Patriotic Front Door Wreath Project

What You’ll Need:

  • paper
  • scissors
  • black marker
  • glue gun
  • cardboard
  • tissue paper
  • love
  • Here’s how I made it:

Easy Patriotic Wreath Tutorial

Start by cutting out a 7 1/2″ circle from chipboard or cardboard.  (this was the back of cereal box)

Make 3 more circles for guidelines: 5″, 3″ and 1 1/2″ circles.

This is were you are going to place the scrolls.

How To Make A DIY Wreath

To make the scrolls you will need 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ sheets of paper.

If you want the black edges on the front, you place the marks on the left and top.

On the back it will be all the way across the top and 1/2 way down the right side.

Homemade Wreath Instructions

Now how to curl it. front facing down, grab the top left corner and start to roll diagonally towards right bottom side of paper.

Once your scroll is complete, secure it with a dab of hot glue.

Red White and Blue Wreath

Getting your scrolls ready for the wreath. flatten the bottom end of scroll.

Cut off about 2-2 1/2″ off the bottom of your scroll. This will make it easier to add onto the wreath.

Easy Wreath Tutorial

Start adding your scrolls.  The cut off end of your scroll will line up with the pink 5″ circle.

While adding more, work in one direction and overlap a little.

Patriotic Wreath Craft

Your second layer is the green 3″ circle and the 3rd layer is the orange 1 1/2″ circle.

(don’t let my 2nd layer photo confuse you, the one on the left. In that picture the red is the 1st layer and the white is the 2nd layer, it’s from my first wreath)

Easy Festive Wreath Project

When you get all 3 layers put on the middle hole is going to be a bit deep.  To fix this I took small pieces cardboard and stacked them until it filled the hole.

Wreath Craft Instructions

Now for the center… I cut out a 3″ circle and covered it with red tissue paper, then applied it to the stacked cardboard pieces.

Your probably wondering, so how do I make the fantastic flowers to add to the front.  You can find tutorials – Here and
