Hey, y’all! When it’s warm outside, I’m in a red, white, and blue mood more often than not. With the weather warming up, it’s time to get your patriotic wreath inventory prepped and ready to go.

The supplies for this patriotic deco mesh wreath came from a previous kit we mailed out. If you didn’t grab the kit, you can still create this look. The only difference is that you’ll need to order supplies individually.

How To Make A Patriotic Deco Mesh Wreath

This wreath is a little bit unique in that it’s a grapevine base topped with mesh. You don’t see that combo often, but it’s fun to try something new, and I love how it looks.

It’s always good to think outside the box, y’all because you just never know what amazing new technique or combination you may come up with!
