I love seasonal home decor and this DIY summer wreath is great Red White and Blue summer wreath. I saw these white fabric globes at IKEA and I just had to decorate them for the 4th of July. A blank canvas waiting for color! You could put the decorated globes on a light string OR I made this fun Red White and Blue Wreath… So.. let’s get started.

This DIY summer wreath is so fun and easy you just have to try it!

You will need a Wreath Form {I used a 12″ wire one} and some globe lanterns. These were from IKEA and for a light garland. I decided to use them for a different purpose though. The look like the paper lanterns, but actually they are made of fabric, so perfect for painting and decorating. I had two sets so 24 lanterns.
I also gathered my Mod Podge, glitter, fabric markers, and some fabric paint. You can use pretty much anything to decorate the globes..

Then comes the fun part! Decorate! Paint..

Draw…

Glitter!! I used the Mod Podge to attach the glitter. Although on the ones I painted I just shook glitter on the wet paint. I tried to create a variety of color combinations and designs.

Cover your wreath form with twine or ribbon.

I used hot glue to attach the globes to the summer wreath. Layout a basic design before you start. I ended up doing an inner circle and then an outer circle, with a few globes on top of this first layer.

I think wreaths look great with big bows, so I added one to mine {ha!} Here’s how I made it… so easy! Cut a large square of fabric. {you want a somewhat stiff fabric} Mine was 11″ square. Fold two sides in towards the center. For the tie I cut a long 1.5″ strip. Pinch the center of the bow and tie the long strip at the center. Glue to the wreath.

Here’s a fun video for making a red white and blue summer wreath.

There you go! A colorful and fun red white and blue summer wreath for the 4th of July. I’ve already got ours hanging in the house because I love it so much.
