 What You’ll Need:

• Metal Wire Wreath (I used an 18″ wreath)
• Red, White & Blue Paints & Paintbrushes
• Clothes Pins (I used 54)
• Wood Crafting Stars
• Ribbon (I used red)
• Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
• White Spray Paint (flat finish)
• Clear Spray Paint (satin finish)

Directions:

1. Spray paint the wire wreath white & let completely dry (with the flat finish will dry quickly)
   
2. Figure out how you want your clothes pins. I alternated sides and put a pin about every half inch
   
3. Decide how big of a section you want the blue part of your “flag” to be & how many pins you want in each “stripe.” My blue section had a total of 19 clothes pins, I also had 25 red clothes pins and 15 white pins (in sections of 5)
4. Paint your clothes pins and stars (I used 13 stars)
   
5. Once clothes pins and stars are dry, you can start re-placing them onto your paint wreath and hot gluing them in place
   
6. After clothes pins are all on, hot glue the stars onto the pins in the blue section
   
7. Touch-up any spots you think may need a little extra hot glue to stay secure and glue on ribbon to hang, then finish by spraying with clear finish
