Need Some Ideas for the 4th?

It’s almost The Fourth of July and what better way to remember it? Handmade items..

Painted Terra Cotta Pot Candle Holder

This would look so awesome sitting on a deck or on your front porch

Patriotic Paper Lollies

Wouldn’t this just be the most freedom ringing table topper?

Plus, you could re-size them smaller and make pins for hats and shirts..YAY.

Free Fourth of July Printables

She has more than just this one, so be sure to check it out.

Patriotic Reunion Shirts {Monogrammed}

Go in style with this initial monogrammed shirt. Hey- at least you won’t lose your kids =)

4th hair styling

hairstyle with ribbons for girls

So adorable but Adisyn’s hair is still too short to fix it like this, but if you have a little bit older than mine, you should give it a try.

A Star Spangled Welcome =)

The most awesome welcome banner around..{or so I think}

Confetti Launcher

My kids would go crazy over these☺

Fireworks Coloring Page

FireWorks Shirt

4th of July Crafts Fireworks Shirt

My DIY fused plastic bag make-up case and a visit from my Adi-bug.

I don’t know if you guys know about fusing plastic bags, but I made my first one last week.

I wanted to try it because it reuses all those plastic bags that are otherwise going to the landfill where they will rot & rot.
How long does it take for plastic bag to decompose? Like 500-1000 years, so RE-use them my friends.

You can learn how- {here} in a video from Etsy

or written {here}

I made this like a week ago, but haven’t yet got to post pictures or anything.

I loved making it, and SO plan to make more.

Have fun & save the planet at the same time, how about that.

If you make it, don’t forget to post some pictures for us to see =)

You might just be featured.

Sewing Tutorials From Made

Made is just such an awesome site. I love all the tutorials that she shares with us.

*How to make your own pattern-

“If you're new to sewing, the best way to understand clothing construction is to actually deconstruct it. Start by looking at your clothing. Study how it's put together.”

*Freezer Paper Stenciling-

It must be actual Freezer Paper, not wax paper:

*5 easy steps to dyeing fabric-

Fabric Dyeing does NOT need to be:
Hard, Messy, Scary, Done in your washing machine, Done on your stove.
Fabric Dying CAN be:
Simple, Done in a bowl right in your sink, Fun, Experimental!

*Journal Jars

The jar contains slips of paper with a different topic on each one. So when you sit down to work on your history, pull out a slip, read the topic and don't over-think it. Just start writing what comes to your mind, based on that topic.

*The HoBo Sack
