I've been a little behind on my whole holiday preparation thing...
so I thought I'd show you at least one Fourth project I got done :)
I started with these:
All I used were:
*package of coffee filters (I used brown for a more vintage-y feel)
*Hot glue gun
*Wreath form from Dollar Store
*(optional) Spray paint for painting form
Before I started anything, I sprayed my wreath form red so that if any peeked through or around, it would blend in:
Then I just set about to gluing... I didn't get any pictures because I did it during movie night with hubby (woops). But it took about thirty minutes... I just dabbed some hot glue, crinkled the coffee filter a little and stuck it on. No fancy folding or anything.
Here's pretty much what it looked like after all that:

At first, I was just going to leave it the pretty brown but I guess with the fourth coming up, I got inspired.
I grabbed a couple foam brushes and acrylic paint and this is what happened:
Doesn't it look so much more happy?
The brown was beautiful... but this just makes me excited about celebrating our country!!!
I figure it's neutral enough though that it can hang for a good part of the summer :)
All I did for the color was dab the brushes in paint then dab around the wreath. You can put as much or as little color on as you want. That's up to you :)
Wouldn't it be cute in other colors too??
Ah, the possibilities!
