Red, White and Blue-ti-ful/ Bandana Wreath

This is the finished piece.

Supplies (all of mine were from Hobby Lobby). Bandanas: 7 red, 7 white, 7 blue. Package of precut peel and stick stars (I only needed the white ones but this is what I found and I wanted convenience). I foam wreath 11.8". I already had wire, glue gun, glue sticks at home, fishing line (to hang) again it was what I had.

I folded the bandana in half, then half again, then again until I had a long strip. I did not cut these.

See the long strip above to give you an idea. I folded it over the wreath evenly, the used wire to scrunch it up . Folding the wire on the back side.

See the scrunched up part and the wire above. This is what I had so I used it. I'm sure a number of other things could be used.

These white stars were peel and stick but I also hot glued them to stay on better. (They fell off just with the peel and stick).

On the front side: I used a drop of hot glue on top of the wire piece and covered it with the fabric (bandana). If this sounds confusing look back up to the pic where it shows the scrunched up part and the wire. I just used a drop of glue right on the wire and pinched the material above the wire and below it together. I also used a drop of glue to link 1 bandana to the next at the outer ends of the wreath (otherwise they can be floppy). And anywhere else I thought a drop of glue was needed to give it support. The bottom pieces of bandana I fluffed out to give it the full look. I used fishing line to hang it with. I've got in on my door it looks lovely and I did this in an evening. Have fun!

Update: may need something to stiffen the top (mine sits in a recessed area but I can see it could be an issue with it being floppy!)

Update: A couple people mentioned dropping one of the white bandanas so you have 7 red stripes and 6 white stripes so it fits with the 13 original colonies/13 stripes which I think is a splendid idea (you'll need to make the adjustments to allow for the wreath to be covered).
