It's time to celebrate America with red, white and blue decor and recipes. We always fly the flag on the 4th of July, but I also love to have a few patriotic touches, here and there, in my home. These three simple ideas - 2 DIY projects and 1 recipe will give you inspiration for making your 4th of July holiday extra special this year.
First, make an easy patriotic banner by using an assortment of heavy stock scrapbook paper. I simply cut out the shapes from a template and hung them by using red and white baker's twine. I think the patterns are unexpected, but fun. The complete tutorial can be found here.
Next, this framed print is easy to put together with a simple white frame and some red white and blue embelishment, found at any craft store. See how I used this print on a patriotic mantel and find the link to the free printable, by clicking here.
Finally, take something sweet to your Fourth of July picnic or event, by making these easy red, white and blue, white chocolate dipped strawberries. The recipe for this pretty, delicious and patriotic dessert can be found here.
Happy Tuesday!
