4th of July Wreath

I have been quite the slacker in the wreath making department lately.  I haven't found any friends down here that don't make fun of me for crafting and it's not nearly as fun doing it alone- ha.

My door was starting to look really sad and I ran across the cutest idea on Pinterest so I decided to give it a go.  Here was the finalized look:

It turned out pretty cute, huh?  Here's all I needed:
- Wreath form (I actually got a straw wreath because it was cheaper- I just left the plastic on so I wouldn't have to deal with the straw
- Red, white and blue yarn
- Wooden stars (the original one I saw had white buttons on it, but while looking around Michael's I found a bag of different sized stars, so I decided to pick out the small ones and paint them white)
- Hot glue gun

I don't think I've ever used a hot glue gun without burning myself.
... and I did it again this time.  Fail.

Hope you think it's cute (the wreath, not my arm)!!!  It was SUPER easy... I'm pretty sure Valerie could have done it.

Have fun celebrating the 4th!!!  We are heading out to Vail on Tuesday and staying through Saturday, so I'm super excited to spend the holiday on a beautiful mountain in cooler weather!
