With some rustic American Flag fabric, a recycled can, and a Dollar Tree wood ring you can make this adorable Patriotic DIY Decor for the 4th of July. This Patriotic Fabric Ring Flower doesn’t even have to be red, white and blue. You can substitute the fabric for a year round flower craft too!
If you haven’t seen these Fabric Ring Flowers floating around the internet, or on Pinterest, you must be living under a rock.
Maybe you haven’t seen a Patriotic one like you see here, but I’m sure you’ve seen some type of pretty fabric flower.
This one is made with a Dollar Tree Wood ring, but I have seen them made with mason jar lids as well!
Those work great as well, but you get a much more wider center of the Fabric Flower. Perfect for….you guessed it…. SUNFLOWERS!!!
You can use any type of fabric you like to make these flowers, but for this one I chose American Flag Fabric for the perfect Patriotic Decor!
I have made a few different types of Flowers with fabric like this Sunflower one and this Spring one, but I’ve never made one like this using a wood ring. Until NOW!

How to Make a Patriotic Fabric Ring Flower
I made this Fabric Ring Flower on video, so you can WATCH it or click on the picture right below.
Start by ripping up a bunch of fabric strips approximately 9-10″ long and 1/2″ wide. You can trim them up afterwards if they are too long, but if they are too short then it is very hard to tie them.
Then, fold each strip in half and then begin tying them in a loop knot around the wood ring. You can SEE exactly how I do this on the LIVE REPLAY.
Fill up the entire ring making sure the strips are packed nice and tight. This will help your flower “petals” stand up right. Trim the ends as necessary.
Glue a piece of fabric to the back of the ring, to cover the center. I decided to position a star right in the center.
Paint the entire can all white with chalk paint, and then dirty it up with Antique Wax. I then used a star stencil to make antique wax stars all over the can.
Wrap the top of the can with twine and then tie a twine shoestring bow to the front.
Glue a rusty star to the center of the shoestring bow and then one on each of the hanging ends of the twine.
Add some floral foam to the can and then cover with it up with spanish moss.
Finally, glue the fabric flower head to a wooden dowel, and stick it down into the floral foam in the can.
