Easy Patriotic Wreath Step-By-Step Tutorial
Supplies
- 24″ Grapevine Wreath
- 1 bunch of white flowers of choice
- 1 bunch of red flowers of choice
- 4 Yards of Wire Ribbon of Choice
- Floral Wire
- Scissors
- Small Cutting Pliers
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Adding The Florals
With a pair of wire cutters, cut the flower stems. You should leave enough of the stem to add hot glue and tuck it into the wreath. You will also cut the leaves or pull them off the stems. We will be using some of the leaves too.
Before I hot glue everything down, I’m playing around with the flower placement on the wreath. This way, you can ensure the design is what you love before it’s permanent!
My Ryobi Hot Glue Gun is ready to go! Now begin to glue down the leaves and add the flowers.
For this wreath, I’m letting the natural beauty of the grapevine peek through! Therefore, I will strategically glue the flowers down, leaving some areas bare for a touch of rustic charm.
Adding a Bow
Oops! Crafting mishap – I forgot to grab photos or a video while making the bow. Don’t worry, a bow-making tutorial is coming your way soon to redeem myself! This pretty bow is secured on the side of the wreath with floral wire. Adding the bow helped me decide how many more flowers I needed to complete the design.
Adding Twine for Hanging
To the back of the grapevine, you can tie a piece of twine or floral wire for hanging the wreath.

Your porch is so inviting, and the grapevine wreath, in my honest opinion, looks the best against a black. It pops! Thanks for sharing. Pinned :) xo

Tammy this is so pretty and love the ribbon you chose.
Pinned!
What a beautiful wreath! That ribbon is gorgeous, and the large red/white blossoms are really eye-catching. I like how the wreath is appropriate for Memorial Day or July 4 without going overboard with little American flags and slogans. It’s simplicity speaks volumes and lends a patriotic vibe to the entryway.
