This Independence Day Wreath celebrates the patriotic musical heritage of America! Your friends will sing the praises of this vintage Independence Day Wreath! Scrolls of "Yankee Doodle," "America the Beautiful," The Battle Hymn of the Republic," "The Stars and Stripes Forever," and "The Star-Spangled Banner" are interspersed with embossed paper stars and tinsel treble clefs for a symphony of patriotic sentiment. The vintage sheet music for this Independence Day wreath came from an antique school songbook, well-worn from a century of use. The vintage images on the stars graced 4th of July postcards circa 1907. We provide all of these grand images FREE at the end of this tutorial.
