{Craft} Patriotic Wreath - 4th July

I am really excited by the project I am sharing today. I made this wreath out of paper stars for the 4th of July and I absolutely love it !!!

I made my first wreath last fall (see it here) and I liked having a wreath on my front door so much that I decided to make one for each season/holiday this year :)
So far I have made a snowflake wreath for our Frozen party (it will be a perfect Winter Wreath) and a Spring one that I still have to share.

So here is my take on a Patriotic Wreath !!! Hope you like it too :)

Scroll down for more pictures and the tutorial, enjoy !!!

The paper stars are really easy to make and here is a tutorial to re-create the wreath.

Supplies:
Wreath (I used a wire wreath but took out the inner and outer rings to make it thinner)
Red, white, blue card stock (I found the lovely blue one at Michael's)
Star template you can download here
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Ribbon
Optional: A scorer for easier folding
Optional: Distress Ink (I used the color Frayed Burlap)

Use the template to cutout stars in three different sizes
For each star, score from one point to opposite inner angle like shown by the line.
Repeat for all 5 points.
Fold on every line.
Pinch each point to get the 3D effect (it helps to pinch the points two by two)

If you wish to distress the stars, simply use a small sponge or applicator to apply the Distress Ink. I started by making the fold lines dark and then applied some lighter stains in between the points.

Once you have a selection of stars ready, you can hot glue them to the wire frame. Use a ribbon to hang (I used red burlap).
