Subway Art: Find the free printable at The Crafting Chicks. I pulled out my white frame that I use for pretty much every holiday, slipped in the printable, and hung it front and center.
Stars and Stripes Canvas: I was inspired by THIS idea from Craftaholics Anonymous and then gave it my own spin. Instead of using wood, I grabbed a square white canvas that I had bought at Hobby Lobby on mega clearance, taped off the negative space that I wanted to stay white, and painted the rest red. Then I painted some foam stars blue, also from Hobby Lobby, and hot glued them to my canvas.
Paper Medallion Candy Jar: Find the tutorial HERE.
Framed USA Picture: I had the fun-shaped red frame already (from Hobby Lobby) and just downloaded and cut out a USA shape from the Silhouette Design shop. I added in the “USA” letters over the top of the design before cutting.
Wood Post Fireworks: I made a set of 3 Firecrackers, but displayed only 2 to conserve space. Find the tutorial by Oopsey Daisy HERE. I didn’t see it mentioned in her instructions, but the unpainted small wooden stars can be purchased at Hobby Lobby.
Simple Stars Banner: I found a skewed star stencil in my craft stash, traced it on red, white, and blue patterned paper, cut them out, then used a needle and a few pieces of white thread to string them all together.
