This is the first time I have used washi tape, and now I understand the hype surrounding it. It is very forgiving and re-positionable, comes in tons of prints and colors, and is inexpensive. I found the tape used in this wreath in the office supply section at Target, where it costs $4 for a pack with four rolls of coordinating tape.
Here is how I did it:
I wrapped the wreath form (which I will never purchase again now that I know about the pool noodle option) with navy blue and polka dot tape as shown.
I cut the flowers from felt using my best friend, Sizzix. Pearl ball straight pins hold them in place.
I wrapped bakers twine around a small segment of the wreath and taped the ends on the back side.
The USA bunting was an add on, since it need a little something more. See…
I used a sizzix to die cut the trianges and letters.
Now with “USA”…
I love it!
I love wreaths so much and this one would be so great for any patriotic holiday. I love the use of the washi tape!
Well, aren’t you clever! Love it. I love all the fun red, white and blue projects starting to pop up in blogland. I hope you will link up to my Patriotic Project Parade.

That is pretty clever. I like the tape, but what gives it the final accent is the burlap. Very neat!
