To make our Easy Paper Patriotic Wreath you will need cardstock in red, white, blue, and we used grey as our base. You will also need a star paper punch, scissors, and a glue stick.

Patriotic Paper Strip Wreath Craft Supplies Needed

  • Star paper punch
  • Scissors

Easy Paper July 4th Wreath Craft Step by Step Directions

Begin by choosing the size and color of the base of your wreath. This will mostly be covered up, but you don’t want to go with something wild like yellow. We chose a 6” sheet of grey cardstock, but your main red, white, or blue colors would work well, too.

Cut a circle.

Now, cut a circle out of the base. This doesn’t have to be a perfect circle.

Cut out an inner circle, leaving about a 1 inch ring.

Cut an inner circle out from the circle, leaving about a 1 inch wide ring.

Cut red, white, and blue paper strips

Next, cut a bunch of red, white, and blue paper strips. They at least need to be long enough to cover the ring.

Glue the paper strips to the ring.

Begin gluing the strips all around the ring.

Continue gluing until full.

Continue gluing until the ring is filled.

Use a star punch to make stars.

Finally, make some stars with the star paper punch. Or, you can use stickers.

Glue the stars around the wreath.

Affix the stars wherever you want around the wreath.
