Patriotic Farmhouse Wreath DIY
This patriotic door decor is truly a simple craft. It is finished quickly, fluffs easily, and boom! done. Using only three materials plus scissors making your own wreath doesn’t get any simpler than this. This is a great project for craft beginners. You can use it for summer door décor, above a mantel, as part of a Memorial Day display, Independence Day décor (4th of July décor), or a Veteran’s Day display.
The rustic look of this Americana decor is wonderful for the current farmhouse decor craze, too!
Like so many crafts this is simply an idea for you to begin with and expand upon to make your own. You can follow my steps exactly, or go off in your own direction.
Use as a Memorial Day Wreath, Veteran’s Day Wreath, Fourth of July Wreath, a patriotic door wreath; really any type of patriotic holidays or as part of patriotic decorations. If your mesh is waterproof, you can use it as a military wreath in the cemetery. It is a fast decoration that embodies the patriotic spirit.
For myself, this gorgeous wreath is being used as a front door wreath; a welcome wreath of front door decor!
If you like uncomplicated crafts, follow the directions of this patriotic wreath tutorial below to make some patriotic swag, in American patriotic colors, this summer. This is one easy project.
Tips and variations for making this patriotic farmhouse wreath:
● A red and white deco mesh was used. You can use red and white, blue and white, or red, white, and blue.
● While we just tied a ribbon to the bottom (burlap in keeping with the rustic farmhouse theme), you could easily make a bow if you like. Just remember to leave space for it.
● The entire 10′ of mesh is used on a 12″ wreath frame with enough room at the bottom to add a simple tie. If you want to add a bow, you will need to scrunch the mesh a little bit closer together.
● 50″ of ribbon was used to make the tail tie.
● If you can find the mesh at your local dollar store it will keep costs down.

● Unroll the checked red and white mesh, and fold the mesh in a small loop.
● Pull that first loop the free gap in the wreath frame (furthest from you); hold the loop in place.
● Form a second loop with the mesh, and pull through the second gap of the wreath frame; pinch and hold both pulled through loops in place.
● Make a third loop, through the final wire gap.
● The volume of the mesh will hold it in place, there is no need to tie off anything.
● Fluff the loops as you go.
● Repeat until the wreath is complete.
● The 10 feet of mesh will fill the wreath and allow you a small space at the bottom to tie off a tail, or a bow.
● The tail shown is 50″ long (measure and cut), and just tied with a square knot (left over right and under, right over left and under).
● Trim the bottom of the tail either on a slant or as a V.
● Display the finished wreath as desired.
