Gather and Prep the Wood

Wrap in Painter's Tape

Wrap the pieces at varied locations with painter's tape (different width tapes if you want).

Stripe Wood With Paint

Paint sections of each piece of wood with red, white and blue paint. Leave some of the spaces natural. Let dry.

Add Hanging Hardware

Before you attach the driftwood to the wreath form, add a picture hanger to back of wood craft wreath.
