Red White and Blue

Red, white and blue aren't just for the 4th of July and other patriotic holidays. It's a great color combination that is good any time of the year.

I've was working on a little project right before Memorial day and it's almost finished but not quite.
Luckily I already had some red, white and blue spray paint left over from something else.

I bought a big package of clothespins and wire wreath form and I was ready to go. The wind even died down enough for me to take this outside to spray. The wreath form was green so I painted that white. Then I painted some of the clothespins blue, some white and some red.

Once they were dry I started clipping them on to the wreath form.

And here  is what it looks like right now. The inspiration for this project came from Cats Craft Room. She added stars to the blue section and I think I'm going to do the same thing to give it a little something extra. She also has hers hanging with a white ribbon which dresses it up a bit more too.

I didn't clip my clothespins on the same way that she did. For some reason it just wasn't looking right when I did it her way. It's easily changed though if I decide to try it again since these aren't glued on at all.
