The Best Patriotic Wreaths Start on UITC™ Wreath Boards
All the patriotic wreaths we're about to show you have one major thing in common (aside from being gorgeous, of course!): They were all made on UITC™ Wreath Making Boards!
UITC™ Wreath Boards are the base for all your wreath making projects. They're made entirely of 100% recycled plastic, they're weather resistant, they can be reused, and they feature patterned holes to which you can attach all your materials. And yes, they're easy and fun to use, and get you stunning results every time!

We recommend using cable ties (zip ties) with all of our wreath making boards to attach your materials. You really can use any material you wish as long as you can zip a cable tie around it! This helps you use fewer materials so that the patriotic wreath making process is much more cost effective and environmentally friendly.
And speaking of materials, everything you need to create the best patriotic wreaths is located in our online shop: from mesh, to ribbon, to wreath signs, to vinyls for our Character & Rail Boards, to all kinds of accessories, we have it all! We're your one-stop shop for all your crafting and wreath making needs.

So with that, let's dive into some of the best American patriotic wreath designs... featuring our dear friend, Michele at Monkey's Creations!
Michele, the owner and creative genius behind Monkey's Creations, is an amazingly talented crafter and wreath maker from Texas who's made a variety of wreaths on our wreath making boards over the years. And some of our most favourite of these wreaths are her patriotic American wreath designs!

Pro Tip: When you’re including stars in your patriotic American wreath, make sure they’re never on the bottom of the wreath, but towards the top. This is proper flag etiquette. For more hot tips on creating your patriotic American wreaths, read this blog post!

Be Sure You Are "Authentically Unique!"
Before you get started on your patriotic creations, we unfortunately need to give a little attention to knock-off boards. They're out there, and we've been seeing them more and more. These boards are lower quality, are typically made overseas, and won't work with our replays.
Authentic UITC™ Wreath Boards:
👍 Always have the UITC™ logo embossed on the back.
❤️ Are weather-proof and durable, made to withstand the elements.
👍 Have the holes laid out in a clear pattern.
❤️ Have clearly numbered rows of holes.
👍 Are the *only* boards that will work with #MakeitlikeLaurie replays & tutorials.
❤️ Are made here in North America!
Remember, when in doubt, genuine UITC™ Wreath Boards can be purchased through our online shop or through one of our Authorized Distributors. When you purchase your boards one of these ways, you are guaranteed to be "authentically unique!"
Here at Unique in the Creek, we really do believe that wreath making is for everyone. You don't need any previous crafting experience to have fun and create a DIY patriotic wreath for your Memorial Day, 4th of July, or Canada Day decor. All you need is a love of your country, one of our wreath boards and some materials, and a little inspiration!
So now that we've shown you some of the best patriotic wreaths, are you ready to get started? For wreath boards, materials, supplies, kits, and more, and don't forget to tag us in your photos on Instagram so we can see and share your creations!
