While we certainly don’t need a holiday to let the red, white and blue shine, it’s special and meaningful to honor all who have served our country, and in some small way, show our appreciation to the countless men and women who continue to protect all that we hold dear. We can get a fast and easy Memorial Day tribute on our door in record time by being a wreath quick change artist!
Remember this heart grapevine wreath I made at Valentine’s Day with the red paper twist flowers? It’s perfect to do a “quick change” for Memorial Day. I made a big, puffy bow combining a wired, navy ribbon with white stars and red ribbon. I decided to add a paper flag pin I made right after 9/11, which reads “In Memory.” Totally right for this holiday, too, don’t you think?
If you take any wreath you already have, you can tweak it a bit, add a little red, white and blue and just that fast, you are a wreath quick change artist and all set to honor – and celebrate – the Memorial Day holiday. Plus, we’re already a step ahead and ready to re-stage our front door for July 4th!
I’m working on a fun wreath for the rest of the lazy, hazy days of summer that is nostalgic and reminiscent of my childhood, summer days. Father’s Day, graduations, anniversary….lots of ideas on the way, so stay tuned!
I definitely got more than a little discombobulated this week with the giveaway and know we totally missed our What’s in My Beauty Bag Wednesday. We’ll be back on track next week! I may peak in on Facebook a little bit on Friday and Saturday, though I promised Mr. Smarty Pants I would step away from the computer so we can do something fun! I’ll be back on Sunday with a simple recipe that’s a fun twist on an old favorite.
Have a great Thursday and a fantastic weekend!
Love the Red White and Blue Cindy!
Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend… and a very special time with Mr. Smarty Pants!
Thanks, Cynthia! I hope you both have a great weekend, too, and yes, I’m keeping my promise to “unplug” for a few days. So appreciate your visit! ?
LOVE the bow and the awesome looking red paper flowers on your wreath! And I’m glad you liked my garden chair well enough to pin it on Pinterest -Thank you!

Hi Jen, thank you SO much for your visit and sweet comment! I appreciate it so much! Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!
I always forget to put a wreath on the front door after Christmas! I don’ t know why I never think about it ?
Very cute! I love having a wreath on my front door as well. My spring wreath just came down and my summer wreath went up. My little girl helped me with it, it’s a flip flop wreath.
Have a great long weekend!

Hi Crystal – thanks so much! The flip flop wreath is adorable!!! I appreciate your visit and please have a fantastic holiday weekend!
I’m with Lisa on this one! I always seem to forget about decorating the front door after Christmas. You’ve given me some inspiration Ms. Cindy ;).
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Hi Doreen! We have to something on your door – or I’ll send you something! ? Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
How lovely! I have been using the same wreath and changing it out for 2 years now! I’m probably going to wear it out soon and have to find another base!
Thanks, Danni! I do the same thing with my Christmas wreath – I both of our wreaths are tough enough to take it! Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!
I love how you do your wreaths! They are always so classy. I think I need to text my neighbors this post…hehe. Hope you enjoy this wonderful weekend. (=
