I love the 4th of July!!!
Seriously, it's one of my favorite holidays. Probably because my parents turn it into a huge event. A huge event. Like having 60+ people over for a barbecue and the fireworks that my Dad, brothers and other various males from my family light off. It's always tons of fun, especially because everyone is having a good time.
Since my parents like decorating for any holiday, especially when they have people over, I decided that I was going to make them a wreath for the occasion.
However, I've been a little overzealous about crafting for the 4th, and got this wreath done a little early. (Okay, really early.) I wanted them to be able to hang it up for awhile so I added a cool feature.
A chalkboard sign so they can change the greeting!!!
so it could say this...
or this...
but right now, it currently says this...
I know, I'm a genius!!!
I'm sharing this project at the following link parties:

Wow, it sounds like your family really knows how to celebrate the fourth. Your wreath will become an annual feature. Incorporating the chalkboard sign is a great idea. I found your post through Handy Man Crafty Woman.
