Handcrafted, patriotic decorative wreath. This large, 18 inch distinctive fabric rag wreath is the perfect wall or door decor to display your support for the USA! You could use this wreath seasonally, hanging it up on Memorial Day and/or for the 4th of July. Or, hang it up year round to show your support for those military who have dedicated their lives to their country.

The unique fabric wreath was created using complimentary designer fabrics in a red, white and blue variety of prints. There is a red fabric with white stars, a blue fabric with white stars. There is a bright blue fabric with white polka dots, a blue and white gingham plaid fabric. There is also a micro red and white polka dot fabric.

This wreath could be hung on the front door or on a wall of a covered front porch. Inside, you could hang this on a door, above a mantle or from a large window. You truly have many options with this sized wreath.

Each of my wreaths are carefully constructed and can take anywhere from 2-4 hours to create. Each individual piece of fabric was shredded, chosen specifically and then tied on creating somewhat of a repeating pattern. The wreath hangs from the back and lies flush against the wall.

My Rag Wreaths:
My rag wreaths are just what I say; they are simple and rustic. I take brand new designer fabrics and shred them down by hand to create my unique, decorative wreaths. After the fabric is shredded and the wreath is created, the ends of the fabric are cut, usually, with a variety of my pinking shears. But, they truly are 'raggy' and so you should expect some of the wreaths to have (to see) some rough edging. That is on purpose!

How do you care for your rag wreaths?
First, I recommend treating your wreath with scotch guard. When your wreath is not being displayed, I recommend storing it flat, upside down. While you are displaying your wreath, I recommend switching it 45 degrees once a week to keep the entire wreath fresh and from settling. To keep your wreath fresh, you can dust it with swiffer style dusting rags, you can lightly vacuum it using your vacuum cleaner extension tools and you can even place the smaller wreaths into a pillow case and put it into your dryer on the "fluff air" cycle. You can also use an old style, taped lint roller.
