So I decided to throw it all together into a scrappy wreath. And, let me tell you, it felt good to be crafting again for a change! I cannot wait until this move is over! But anyway...I just wrapped all the red, white and blue scrap fabric I could find around a straw wreath that my friend Alejandra brought over a few days ago. I tied and hot glued the fabric in place and added some embellishments to spruce it up.
I whipped up a couple of loopy flowers with some leftover red and white felt and hot glued them down. I think they look like fireworks kinda, don't you?
I also used some leftover Christmas ribbon to tie a bow above the loopy flowers and hot glued on a bunch of white buttons above that to complete the look.
I think it turned out pretty well. I especially like how the red and white stripped fabric next to the blue and white polka dot fabric looks sort of like a flag.
I'm sure you all have much more sophisticated decorations than this for fourth of July, but with the move this is all I could manage. So let me see what you've made for fourth of July! Upload your crafty creations in the Flickr pool and I promise to show them off here for you. :)
Until next time, happy crafting!
