How to Make a Firecracker Rag Wreath | Wreath Tutorial

Fourth of July

My Firecracker Rag Wreath is sure to add a little “POP” to your Fourth of July decor!  I had seen rag wreaths before on Pinterest, but never attempted one myself.  I am so glad I did!  This Firecracker Rag Wreath was so much fun to make!
 
 

Firecracker Rag Wreath

 
I found an awesome tutorial at Sassy Sanctuary to create this look!  Truth be told, this was pretty time intensive.  I spent about two hours double knotting all these strips of fabric to the wire floral ring.
 
The firecrackers were inspired by Mrs. Stewart herself!  Martha had these cute firecracker candy favors and I knew I wanted to incorporate them into my Fourth of July decor.  {I adapted her tutorial to fit the wreath.}

Here’s what you need:
White tissue paper
Empty toilet paper rolls
Spray adhesive
Scissors
Pencil
Martha’s printable (to use a template)
Scrapbook paper (of your choosing)
Baker’s twine
Hot glue gun
 
rag wreath supplies
 

I started by cutting out Martha’s printable and tracing it on the back of my scrapbook paper and set aside.

Take a piece of white tissue paper and spray it with the spray adhesive.

Roll of the toilet paper roll.

Twist the tissue paper on one end of the roll and secure with baker’s twine.

Stuff the other end into the roll.

Take the rectangular shaped piece of scrapbook paper that you cut out and spray the back with the spray adhesive.  Roll the scrapbook paper around it just as you did with the tissue paper.

Set aside.  Take the other piece you cut out and bring the sides together to make a cone.

 Apply hot glue around the rim of the end that is stuffed and attach the cone.

These were so easy to make and I love how they make the wreath “pop”!

To complete the wreath, I painted some wooden stars and hot glued them to the baker’s twine.
