ACU Wreath Tutorial

ACU Wreath Tutorial!

Items you will need:

• Styrofoam circle. (You can find them at Walmart or any crafting store. The size is up to you.)​
• Hot glue gun, and hot glue.​
• Fabric. (I used an old pair of my husbands ACU pants, and some yellow fabric I found at Walmart.)​
• Yellow ribbon. (Or any color you would like.)​
• Small wooden skewer. (You can get them at Walmart or any grocery store or crafting store.)​
• Any of your service members tapes that you might like to add to the wreath. (i.e. name tape, U.S. Army tape... etc.)​

Cut all of the fabric into to 3 inch by 1.5 inch rectangles.​

​Place the skewer in the canter of the fabric rectangle and pulls the sides of the fabric up.

Place a small drop of hot glue on the Styrofoam where you would like your fabric placed.​

Push the fabric down into the Styrofoam.​

Continue this to cover the entire Styrofoam circle.​

                                         MAKE SURE THE FABRIC IS PLACED TIGHTLY!

Make sure that the fabric is placed tightly together, so that there is no Styrofoam showing.​

If you would like a bow you can place one on the top part of the wreath, or you can place 2 ribbons on the back of the wreath and hot glue a bow to the top of the 2 ribbons. (As shown in the picture below.)​

Please be patient when making this wreath, it takes a long time to make. However, the end product is well worth it. I left my ends of my fabric fringed because it looks weathered and tattered, and I like it like that. You can take the time to sew all of the edges for a cleaner look if you would like. ​

Hope this helps everyone that is wanting to know how to make an ACU wreath!​

Love and support to all of our troops! God Bless!​
