I love my new patriotic front door wreath!!
I had fun putting this together, although I must admit this is more of an adult craft than one for kiddos. I was inspired by
this article in
Family Fun magazine. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFk1vIDo9zuIRQKs5SHyWUdv7fdqUQC9YGlo5L1s8nUw_zVwQpjt5lxkQeew9-NvfqfltC89t-MnfctZ3lYRRQ-8SvXJqBm7R-ODLFumN2f656OKmT0D0PY7VdcZ6Zzg1cHEi6svpf0KY/s400/misc+020.JPG)
I didn't have quite everything I needed for this one, but all I had to purchase was a few sheets of scrapbook paper and some double-sided tape. Then all I had to gather up were some scissors, regular Scotch tape, a ruler and some cardboard.

First I cut four (5"x 6") pieces of each paper.

Then by placing a piece of double-sided tape on one of the short ends of the papers, I rolled them into cones, pressing the seams together well.

Then I cut a 10" circle out of cardboard and began to stick the cones on it. I used another piece of double-sided tape to stick the cones on, arranging them in a circular pattern.

Next I used regular Scotch tape to attach them on the back to the back of the cardboard.

After getting all the cones on, I was ready for my centerpiece. Here I strayed from
the Family Fun tutorial and used some
(free downloadable) clip art from Martha Stewart. I attached the center medallion with double-sided tape. I LOVE the way it turned out!

Finally I was ready to hang up my wreath.

So using a piece of navy ribbon and a stapler, I attached the ribbon to the top of the cardboard and was ready to go!
