Perfectly Patriotic Craft Projects

Happy Monday everyone! Can you believe Memorial Day is next week? I don't know where the year is going. I do love Memorial Day, though. We have a huge bash every Fourth of July, so this patriotic holiday is much more laid back and, of course, it kicks off summer. We always watch our town's parade with friends, Bloody Mary's in hand, then do something as a family--whether it's canoeing or hiking. I try to sneak in some ice cream somewhere, too. So, in the spirit of all things patriotic, I've gathered a ton of ideas for you today. Kind of a one-stop-shop for red, white, and blue decorating ideas!

First off, check out all of these 15 great DIY projects for Memorial Day and Fourth of July:

Patriotic Wreaths


Now, check out how to decorate for the Fourth of July and Memorial Day with accessories that can serve double-duty throughout the year. Sure, it's fun to pull out some stuff that has stars and stripes on it, but you can't necessarily use those items on other occasions. Layering red, white and blue accessories in other patterns and prints, though, works like a charm! Check out what I mean here:

Finally, I've collected tons of patriotic project ideas on Pinterest. I'd love it if you'd follow me over there. C'mon, let's go!

Handpicked Hostess Gifts Under $20

You may have a holiday party or two to attend in the next couple of weeks...or maybe you already went and showed up empty-handed. Here are some handpicked hostess gifts that go beyond the ubiquitous bottle of wine. Show up with one of these, or send one along post-party with a thank you note, and you're sure to be invited next year! Keep in mind that many of these shops have "Gifts Under $25" collections, so if you don't find what you want here, browse a bit more. And finally, do yourself a favor and stock up! I made sure to include really reasonably-priced things so you can buy in multiples and not break the bank. Haitian Spirit Recycled Steel Ornaments --The Hunger Site Store (every purchase from this site helps fight hunger) Sassari Napkin Rings --Crate and Barrel Wine Cork Candles --Vat 19 (I know I've handpicked these before...I think they're that cool.) Owl Salt and Pepper Shakers --Pier 1 (they have lots of other cute sets, too) Set of Kitchen Towel...

Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups

Did you know Halloween is the third most popular holiday in America, topped only by Thanksgiving and Christmas? If you have kids, this probably comes as no surprise. Children anticipate Halloween almost as wildly as Christmas morning, mostly because of the candy, but also because of the fun class parties and costume parades that happen each year at school. I often volunteer for our kids' class parties because it's so fun to see all of the cuties in their costumes. Here's a Halloween class treat idea for you: Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups Steps Tear the foil lids off of the pudding cups and line them up on a rimmed cookie sheet or tray to make them easier to carry. Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs (you can use finely-crushed Oreos if you can't find the boxed kind) on top of the pudding.

Hey there! Happy Monday! Have you undecorated for Christmas yet? I have to do a decoration detox for a bit after the holidays. I keep the decor to a minimum, but around now, I start to think about Valentine's Day decorations. I think it's hard to work with red and pink since our house is mostly blue, gray and green. But these blue and red Valentine craft ideas would look great in our house, and maybe yours, too! via via via via via via via via via You May Also Like: Key to Our Hearts Valentine Art DIY Heart Crayons Grilled Chocolate Marshmallow Sandwiches Vintage Valentine Crafts
