American Flag Bandana Wreath

Memorial Day is coming soon and whether you are wanting to get crafty this year or host a party!

This year I decided to get crafty and make an American Flag Bandana Wreath with items from Oriental Trading, but you can get these items just about anywhere!

What you will need to create your American Flag Bandana Wreath:
  • 6 red bandanas
  • 6 blue bandanas
  • 6 white bandanas
  • Scissors
  • 18 inch metal mesh wreath
  • Hook to hang the wreath

    What you will need to create your American Flag Bandana Wreath:
    • 6 red bandanas
    • 6 blue bandanas
    • 6 white bandanas
    • Scissors
    • 18 inch metal mesh wreath
    • Hook to hang the wreath
     
    This is such a fun and easy craft that my 11 year daughter made one along side me!  First thing is remove the tag from the bandana and then cut each bandana in half. Just fold the bandana in half and cut along the crease!   My daughter used some jars to hold her bandanas in place to make sure she cut hers nice and easy (we will be using those same jars in another upcoming project!). 

    Roll the bandanas.  Start with the raw edge and roll it about an inch thick.  Then fold them in half making a V shape.
     

    Place the V shape under your wire wreath with the folded edge on the outside.

    Pull the ends through the V shaped loop you just made.  The ends of the bandana will be facing the outside of the wreath as shown in this photo.  Continue alternating the red and white colors until you have added all of them to the wreath.

    Next do the same steps above with the blue bandana strips.

    Use a pipe cleaner or a metal hook to hang it off of your door hanger, wall, etc.
