First step – Painting the star

Here I was simply went through and painted the front and the back of the wood on the Unfinished Wood and Corrugated Metal Star Sign with a darker blue paint ( Cobalt Blue Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint) . The metal star was able to be moved side to side, allowing me to get every inch of the wood.

Second step – Painting the stir sticks

I have taken 5 stir sticks and painted 3 white and 2 red. This will be part of the ‘flag’ hanging from the bottom of the star.

Third step – Let’s get Staggering

I laid out all 5 stir sticks push together. I staggered them to have the 2 pieces on each side shorter than the middle white one. There is approximately 1/4 inch staggered with each stir stick from the middle piece.

Forth step – Glue in place

Once the stir sticks are in place, take your star sign that was painted and apply a coat of hot glue to the back side towards the bottom. Then lay that on the top of the staggered stir sticks to glue in place.

Fifth step – Secure

I took one of the extra stir sticks that i had and added a quick coat of white paint to. Once dried, i cut to length to cover crossed the width of the stir sticks. This will help secure them and keep them from moving around.

Sixth Step – Add the accessories

Here I tied a simple bow out of the black and white checkered ribbon to place at the top of the hanger. I did this to help break up the colors and add contrast. Then on top of that I tied another simple bow from the braided red jute ribbon to add onto the checkered. This helps again bring in the contrast and keep with the patriotic colors.

This project is not only a great way to express your love for the USA, but it also brings a fun touch to your home decor for the 4th of July. Wave your flag high, share the patriotic vibes of your star-spangled masterpiece.

DIY Wreath to Add a Fresh, Fun Look for Easter!

Spring is the perfect time to bring some fresh and colorful decorations into your home. One great way to do this is by creating your very own DIY carrot wreath! Not only is this wreath adorable and unique, but it’s also easy to make and customizable to fit your personal style.

Difficulty level:Beginner
Time to complete: 35 minutes

What is needed:

Let’s get crafting!

Creating the wreath

This is the time consuming part of the craft. It is super easy but making sure each carrot is glued in place to stay before moving on. You will grab your wreath form and start hot gluing all the carrots around the wreath. I chose to glue each carrot in the middle of each carrot to help them line up better.

I left about 12 inches of the wreath showing. This allows me space to create a good size bow. I had about 6 remaining to help come back and fill in the space once bow is in place.

Make the bow

Here i wanted to make a decent size bow but nothing that was going to be overwhelming for the wreath itself. I made the loops around 5.5 inches each.

I covered the wire and create a perfect center with a small piece of the ribbon folded.

With this being a wired ribbon and lace, it was hard for me to really form that BIG fancy bow with multiple loops. I took the easy way out, because lets be real – Those can be hard!

Creating my extra loops, i cut 4 pieces to measure about 6 inches. I then folded those in half. Tucked them in the back of the already made bow. Once i have them in place, hot glue them to the back. This will help create that big glamours looking bow without all the hassle!!

Time to Enjoy

Once all the glue is dry, you are ready to start enjoying your beautiful creation for Easter and all spring long! This is a unique wreath that really adds some fun to your indoor decor or hang on the front door to welcome in your friends and family!
