Stars and Stripes Wreath Tutorial

Want the tutorial for this SUPER EASY Wreath?
Well, okay.

Supplies needed: 
Wreath form
Red, white, and blue tulle
Red and Blue Fabric
Pre-cut Felt Stars and Felt Sparkle Star stickers (DOLLAR SECTION @ JoAnns)
Scissors
Gilda and her Babies (glue gun and sticks)
Embellishments of chose
1. Wrap wreath for with white tulle. It took me a hole roll to get it covered this much. (Side note: I only used tulle because that is what I had on hand.)
Tie and know red tulle around wreath form as pictured above.
Twist and wrap all the way around. 
Repeat with BLUE tulle. 
Add your felt stars as you see fit. I put the felt stickers
in the center of the BIG felt star (which were glued on
the wreath) and in between each.  
Cut your blue and red material into strips in the width
you would like (mine were like 5 for blue and 6 for red). 
Put a running stitch on one side and gather.Glue blue
ruffle to back side of wreath and then red.
All done and SUPER EASY!

ENJOY AND HAPPY 4TH!

America the Beautiful is KNOCKING on my Door

America the Beautiful is KNOCKING on my Front Door
Here is what I did with our front "porch." It is just a dinky little landing but now it is glAMERICA!
I have 2 tutorials to put together for this project too. One for the wreath, which was SUPER easy and CHEAP and my Independence Day "artichoke" styrofoam balls. I will put the tutorials together later today and post them so you all have them.
I also have had a request for a tutorial for my TuTu Cute America tutu so I will put that together too.
Several posts will be going out today because
 I have some SUPER exciting news to tell you all!
 I could barely contain myself yesterday when I found out! SO, tons more coming today and through out the weekend!
So cute, right? 
Well, little America did not want to
stay  put. BUT I think it looks better
without that pesky little sign! Not quite
so BUSY! 
And here is the "floral" arrangement
I made for the front porch too.  
Oh, there is Miss America! She found a perfect
place for herself! 
My sequin glAMERICA ball.
Don't you love how it turned out?
I sure do!! 
My little "artichoke" rocket styrofoam
balls. A LOT more work than I had
anticipated but we will get to that later.  
I think these turned out
B-E-A-U-Tiful!

TAAAAAAA-DAAAAA
What do you think? Do you want the tutorial?
Check back later for the tutorial and a
HUGE
EXCITING (for me anyway)
ANNOUNCEMENT!
