Courtesy of the Red White and Blue....

Ive been busy getting patriotic pieces together, even though they will only be up another week or so 
Last time I showed ya my super cute stars for the dining table centepiece
Now its time for my Front Entry!

I found this Berry Wreath at a yardsale for $2 bucks a few weeks ago and my intentions were to spray paint it white... I can still do that later ;)
Next I wanting a MINI bunting across {{ Thanks for the idea Christine! }} 
but I wanted it to be sturdier than just paper on its own....


SOOOOO

See where I'm going here?
I couldn't find Pre-Cut chipboard pennants small enough, so I used the points of small stars instead

Then, I spent too much time cutting out individual triangles for them
{{ If I were SMART I woulda cut them with my Silhouette... My "duh!" moment once I was finished }}
strung with Embroidery Floss then tied to the wreath...




While I was Mod-Podging my Table Stars I did this larger one as well

and saved one of the chipboard stars whole to layer on top


Wired it to the wreath
and hung with some Navy Blue ribbon!


I like it!
and I really like that it was Under $5 Bucks....FabuLESS!!!!




hmmmmm.... after playing in Photoshop... im more convinced than ever to paint my Door and Trim Charcoal Gray..... My wreaths would look do much better against it!!

I know Mr. FabuLESS reads this, so
SEE HONEY!!!
IT WILL LOOK BETTER!!!


Now time to get the front bench festive too!
