💡 Pro Tip: If you use a wire form, wrap a little burlap ribbon around parts of it first so the base looks fuller.


Step 2: Add the Greenery

Attach faux greenery picks around the wreath to build a full base. Spread the greenery evenly so it frames the whole wreath.

Step 3: Create the First Ribbon Layer

Add your largest ribbon loops first, like burlap or blue plaid ribbon. Tuck and secure them around the wreath to create volume.

💡 Pro Tip: Use wired ribbon so you can shape each loop and keep it looking full.


Step 4: Add the Second Ribbon Layer

Fill in the empty spaces with smaller patriotic ribbons, such as red striped or navy star ribbon. Layer them between the larger loops for a fuller look.

💡 Pro Tip: Treat these as accent pieces, not the main layer. This helps the wreath look balanced instead of crowded.


Step 5: Attach the Center Sign

Place the round patriotic sign in the middle and secure it firmly to the wreath. Make sure it sits straight and feels stable.

💡 Pro Tip: Use at least two attachment points so the sign does not tilt when the wreath hangs.


Step 6: Introduce Berry Picks

Tuck red and blue berry picks into the greenery and ribbon gaps. Spread them around the wreath for small pops of color.

💡 Pro Tip: Use small berry clusters instead of large bunches so the wreath stays clean and detailed.


Step 7: Glue on the Star Accents

Attach the red, white, and blue star ornaments around the wreath. Place them in different spots so the colors feel evenly distributed.
