Fun for the Fourth

For today's installment of

Fun for the Fourth,

 I thought I would share some festive pillows.

The pillow on the left was made with a tea-dyed flag print and some navy fabric.

The center pillow was made using heavier muslin and some stamps and paint.

The pillow on the right I purchased at Target. {and it goes with everything}

What do you do to get ready for the 4th of July?

Fun for the Fourth

Today I'm going to share some of my favorite

4th of July

ideas from pintrest.

Scroll over photos for credits.

Most of these ideas require only red, white or blue paper, ribbon, or food.  Easy peasy.

Oh, and those lawn stars?  Made with a homemade stencil and flour!  So fun!

Fun for the Fourth!

This week, I will be sharing some fun and easy ideas for the

 Fourth of July!

Last year, I saw these somewhere online and wanted to try them.  They were pretty easy and tasted better than they looked like they would.

You will need:

marshmallows

coconut

cashews

white chocolate chips

oreos

chocolate tube icing or melted chocolate chips

Coat the marshmallows in melted white chocolate, then stick an oreo on one end.  Coat the rest of the marshmallow in coconut, add one cashew for the beak and draw the eyes and eyebrows with tube icing or melted milk or semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.  Refrigerate for about 30 minutes till chocolate sets.
