During the first few weeks of summer, outdoor chores abound. But what do you do on those rainy afternoons? Sure, there are probably many projects that could be considered. But sometimes a day of crafting and creativity is the perfect respite. Our founder, Annalee Thorndike, cherished her time tinkering with new dolls in her workshop and welcoming a new holiday and season with spirited designs. Decorating for festive holidays such as July 4th should be fun!

We love seeing how our collectors decorate with Annalee dolls. Wreaths have become a favorite pastime, not only for Christmas, but for every season and holiday. Given the wire construction and pose-abilities of Annalee designs, our dolls lend themselves well as a focal point in any wreath. Plus, those whimsical faces always make visitors smile.

With Independence Day just around the corner, we wanted to share some of our creative ideas for patriotic wreath designs featuring the new 2019 Patriotic Collection. To get started with your own patriot wreath, you need to start with a base. A quick trip to a craft store or a visit to Pinterest should fuel you with some creative options. Check out these patriot wreaths that took 30 minutes or less to assemble!
