This Red, White, and Blue striped wreath is worked in the round with added star appliqués. Festive and fun to make, you’ll find many opportunities to feature it in your holiday decor! It will perfectly compliment your summer holidays from Memorial Day in May through Flag Day (June 14) and the Fourth of July. Bring it out for an encore display in the fall for Patriots Day (9/11) and Election Day and Veterans Day in November – and then, don’t forget Presidents Day in February! Measures about 13” in diameter. Make one for yourself a few to give as gifts!
