I forgot to include this in my original post. Here is the link:

I just made the cutest wreath. All the 4th of July wreaths were gone, so I made my very own one!!!!! Its so cute. I went to Hobby Lobby and got a grape vine wreath $4.99. then went over to the 4th of July display and bot two long garlands of this fuzzy plastic stuff for $4.99 each. about 18 feet. Mine are white with red and blue tiny stars. I then wrapped them around and around the wreath form, just tucking the ends into the twigs. Then I found a hanging decoration on a little blue ribbon for $3.99. It is a small red sparkly star, with a blue sparkly cut out star inside it, and inside that a shiny sparkly silver star. They are nested when you buy them, but when you hang them up, you separate them from each other, so that each is going in a different direction from the others.
I hung the star down from the center of the wreath with an unfolded paper clip. Then I put another unfolded large size paper clip into the twigs in the back to hang the wreath from the nail on my front door. It looks so cute! However, my door is white. I forgot about that, oops! , so next time I think I would buy the metallic blue garland, or the metallic red. They would show up better. Still it looks great! And I made it myself!!! Go me! :-) Everything was 30% off so altogether I spent about $16.00.
Compliments received on the wreath! Yeah!
