I’ll devote an entire post to last night’s party<\/a> sometime soon, but I wanted to share this project since July 4th is quickly approaching.\u00c2\u00a0 Lately I’ve been wanting to create<\/em> and make<\/em>, feeling motivated and wanting to dip my toes into a few crafty projects.\u00c2\u00a0 I was inspired by the July issue of Good Housekeeping to make a festive wreath for the 4th of July.\u00c2\u00a0 This craft requires only two relatively inexpensive supplies: a foam craft wreath and tiny flag toothpicks…lots<\/em> and lots<\/em> of flag toothpicks:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The directions are simple: Stick the flag toothpicks in the foam wreath until the wreath looks full and fluffy.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s all there is to it!<\/p>\n

(In need of a better wreath hanger for the front door….)<\/p>\n

The wreath took me about 2 hours to complete and I found the repetitive nature of the task to be a nice little stress-reliever.\u00c2\u00a0 I used around 600 toothpicks on mine (they came in boxes of 120), and there are some places on the sides of the wreath that could still use more.\u00c2\u00a0 I would advise starting with the inside of the wreath, instead of the front as I did.\u00c2\u00a0 I think this would be fun for older kids to do on their own (maybe on a smaller wreath), and I let The Littlest Apple poke a few toothpicks into my wreath.<\/p>\n

Isn’t this fun and easy?\u00c2\u00a0 A cute and festive flag wreath to use for July 4th, Memorial Day, Flag day, and any other time you feel like breaking out some patriotic red, white, and blue!<\/p>\n
