4th of July Wreath

4th of July Door Wreath

 

I am getting ready for an annual July 4th family picnic and decided I was in a patriotic mood so I am decorating in red, white and blue.  I made this door wreath by wrapping crepe paper around a straw wreath from Michael's.  I left the plastic around the wreath so it wouldn't be so messy.  I added flowers to match and stuck a piece of wire in the back for hanging.  Talk about easy.  This was super easy and cute, too.

 

Below are other things I have made in the 4th theme.  And of course be sure to serve food in red, white or blue dishes along with patriotic plates, napkins and table cloths.  Happy 4th!

Forks in mason jar

Windsock

 

These are made with white card stock and red and blue crepe paper, then hung with red ribbon. 

I also stamped red and blue stars on the white card stock.

I made several windsocks and placed them around the patio area.

 

Rocking Chair with Red Cushion

 

I painted 2 old rocking chairs that were on my front porch and added red cushions. 

These are great for using all year long not just on the 4th.





Thank You Cards and All Occasion Cards

I was asked to make a friend some masculine cards for her husband.  I made a few Thank Yous and some that could be used for any occasion.  On the inside I put a cross and a Bible verse at the bottom, but left the rest of the card blank so he could write his own message.  Also, as usual I added a design to the envelope to match the card.  Here below are the ones I made. 
Hope you like them and get inspired.

Post-it Notes

Post-it Notes

These are my favorite things to make and give.  They are just inexpensive post-it notes that are covered in decorative card stock.  Then they are embellished on the front.  Used them on your desk or in your purse.  When the post-its are all used up, just add more using the same covers.  You can use the regular size post-its or the mini post-its.  Love these!
I sell these for $2.
