I am joining friends who are sharing DIY summer wreaths. They’re all so pretty and perfect for summer. Scroll down to jump over and get the tutorials for these wreaths and make on this weekend!

Create Fabric Scrap Patriotic Flags

This year I created some adorable handmade patriotic flags to decorate with. I put them in pots throughout my home and I am excited to use them when I decorate our porch. I thought it would be fun to tie the fabric flag theme in with an easy patriotic wreath.

10-Minute Patriotic Flag Wreath

This wreath is so easy to make and you can create it in less than 10 minutes. The thing I love about this wreath is that you can use a wreath you already have and add the patriotic elements without glue or anything that is permanent so that you can use the wreath again either alone or for another occasion.

Where Can You Use a Patriotic Flag Wreath?

There are so many different way to display wreaths. I have this one on the on the fence in our new pergola patio. But you can also use a wreath like this as a centerpiece above a mantel too! And the pictures above are with the wreath above my hood in our kitchen. So this wreath looks good in all kinds of different settings!

How to Make an Easy Summer Fabric Flag Wreath

Here’s how you make this easy patriotic wreath.

10-Minute Patriotic Basket Wreath

I love celebrating the Fourth of July. There’s something so pretty about red white and blue in the summer! In Utah we also celebrate our statehood in July so I get to keep the patriotic decor up all month long! This year I created a really simple and sweet patriotic basket wreath with just a few supplies. I love this alternative to a traditional wreath.

An Alternative to a Traditional Wreath

Have you ever made a basket wreath? I love an alternative wreath idea. Basket wreaths are a great way to showcase faux flowers for a pretty door display.

What Supplies Do You Need to Make a Basket Wreath?

You don’t need a lot of supplies to make a basket wreath. And if you don’t want your basket wreath to be patriotic, all you have to do is add whatever color flowers you want!

Basket Wreath Supplies:

Hanging Basket — Here are some cute ones.

Natural Woven Basket | Metal Boho Basket | Seagrass Basket | Rattan Tightly Woven Basket | | Pink and White Basket | Welcome Wicker Basket | Wicker Basket with Liner| Hanging Basket White | White Cotton Rope Basket

Faux Florals — use whatever color you want for your wreath. For mine I used white hydrangeas and red carnations. Plus greenery.

Ribbon — Use whatever color ribbon goes with your flowers. I used red and white gingham to bring a little patriotic flare to my door hanging.

Floral Foam — I used green floral foam and wrap the outside of it in natural ribbon. It keeps the faux florals in place in the basket.

Glue Gun – This is my favorite heavy-duty glue gun

How to Make a Simple Basket Wreath Door Hanging

Here are the easy steps to make a floral basket wreath to hang on your door or wall.

Wrap Floral Foam with Ribbon

I wrapped neutral ribbon around the outside of the floral foam block because my basket has an open weave and I didn’t want the foam to show. If your basket is not see-through you don’t need to do this step.

Trim Faux Plants and Flowers

Hold the plants and flowers up to the basket and see how much you need to trim. Then take a pair of pliers or scissors and trim them to length.

Place Greenery at Back of Basket

I start adding faux greenery at the back of the basket by inserting the bottom of the faux greens in the floral foam to hold them steady.

Add Biggest Faux Flowers

Add the biggest size flowers to the basket evenly. I used five stalks of big hydrangeas and spaced them evenly across the middle of the foam square, bending them a little at the sides of the basket so they fan out across the basket.

Fill in With Smaller Flowers

Next add the smaller flowers and fill in the holes between the larger flowers with the smaller ones.

Add Greenery to Front

I used some fern leaves and added them to the inside front of the basket to make them seem like they are cascading over the edge of the basket.

Add a Bow

The last thing I did was added a bow to the front of the basket. You can also make a loop of ribbon and thread it through the top back side of the basket to hang the basket to your wall or door.

Add Flags

I also added a couple $1 flags to the center of the basket wreath to give it an added patriotic vibe!

Enjoy Your Patriotic Basket Wreath

6 Easy DIY Projects to Create a Patriotic Flag Fourth of July Porch

There are so many inexpensive easy ways to decorate for the Fourth of July! I am sharing 6 easy ways that I created a Patriotic Flag Fourth of July Porch for our home!

Create a Giant Flag Sign

If you have been reading my blog for the past 11 years you would see how much I LOVE creating giant signs. I make them for almost every holiday. They are inexpensive to make because I use inexpensive pine shelving from the hardware store. A tip — the hardware store will usually cut your board to whatever height you want for FREE! I am writing up the tutorial and it will be on the blog next week if you want to make one for your home !

Make a Star Galvanized Farmhouse Star Wreath

Another project I love to make are wreaths with this galvanized wreath form. I think this is the 5th wreath I’ve made using this form. You can grab it at Hobby Lobby. I am also writing up the tutorial for this wreath. It seriously is SO easy to make!

Customize a Pre-Made Gingham Banner

I found this blue and white gingham banner in Target’s Dollar Spot. It’s cute all by itself but I wanted to add some red and white to it. I took some red and white gingham fabric and ripped it into 2-inch wide strips. Then all I did was tie the pieces in between the blue and white pennants. I love the way the fabric strips look with the pennants.

Patriotic Flags

There are so many sizes of inexpensive flags you can buy. Check your dollar store. I added flags to the pots around my front door. I have striped pots and star pots that I also found in Target’s Dollar Spot. Such an easy way to add some patriotic flair to your front door or porch. And at the end of the month I just put them all in a bag and use them again next year!

Flag Banners

I found this really long flag banner on Amazon. I just added it to the eave of my front porch and I love the way it waves in the breeze!

Patriotic Pillows

Pillows are an easy way to decorate your front porch. I have a popular tutorial on how to Make Pillow Covers in 10 Minutes – if you want to make some for YOUR home!

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for. There is just something about red white and blue that is magical! My home is white which works really well for decorating almost any season. I also LOVE the idea of a navy house.

Our favorite thing to do is walk around our neighborhood and see all of the brightly colored homes that are being built. I spotted this navy home the other day and I LOVE the way it looks. I think my next home might be navy!!

6 Ways to Decorate Your Porch for the Fourth of July!

Make an Easy Door Hanging

This year I remade my Christmas wreath over for the fourth. I love that the galvanized base is so easy to change up. You literally can decorate it for ANY season or holiday. I have the easy tutorial for my Fourth of July Wreath here.

Decorate Your Door

I repurposed a plaid thanksgiving banner by taking the letters off. The star lights are from Target. I also found red and white star jars at target and I put little mini flags in each. I put a piece of floral foam in the bottom of each so that the flags would stay upright.

Red White and Blue Pillow Covers

I brought out all of the red and white pillow covers and changed out the pillows on my porch too!

Add a Bright Doormat

I layered a couple of rugs in front of my door. The blue and white buffalo check rug is from Target and I put a red and white striped rug from Ikea underneath. I love the way they look together!

Hang a Flag

We also hung up our flag and I love seeing it wave in the breeze.

Add Flowers

We hung some pretty planters and added some blue and white flowers to the front of our galvanized planters.

It’s so fun to sit outside on our porch and see all of the festive decorations! I can’t wait for the fourth!!

Here are a few other fun Fourth of July ideas you can easily make:
