Quick Craft [Firecracker Decor]

I've been buying crafting goodies from Pick Your Plum for only a couple of months now but I have to say I'm hooked! They have the cutest stuff at really great prices. No I'm not paid to say that; I just really like them... anyway I saw this Firecracker set from them about a month ago and knew I could make something cute with it. At the time I didn't have an exact plan, then two weeks ago they had patriotic Washi Tape and it all came together!

I just love the way this came out, here's how I did it...

Make it Monday [Patriotic Jello]

I've seen lots of different ways to make Patriotic Jello, most of which call for a mixture of milk & Jello. I'm not a fan of a milky jello. It just sounds off to me. So I bought some Cool Whip and decided to make red & blue jello; then top it off with that deliciousness.

Score! Easy and festive treat.

DIY Tuesday [Flag Wreath]

Memorial Day is just around the corner and I'm starting to bring out my patriotic decorations. I just love the summer time. Today I'm showing you a quick and easy American Flag Wreath. It only takes a few minutes to make but looks like it takes way more!

What you'll need:


Materials
Cheap Wreath
Yarn [or twine]: Red, White & Blue
Star Stickers
Hot glue gun
Sharpie or other marker



I used a hay wreath, the cheapest kind they have at Michaels... I left the plastic wrap on the wreath so hay would not get all over the place.

Using a sharpie I marked [eyeballing it but you could measure] the color bands making sure I had a large space for the blue section.

After marking which sections would be red and white I started hot gluing the yarn to the wreath. After each section was filled with a solid band of yarn I moved to the next section.

Once all sections, including the blue, were complete I took the star stickers and applied them to the blue section.

Done!

Super Easy.
