Happy Birthday America!
This morning I whipped up this quick little flower arrangement to bring to a cookout that we are {hopefully} going to this afternoon. I re-used a clean, empty salsa jar & tied some patriotic ribbon around the neck. Making the flag was my favorite part. Here's how:
- Using blue paint, brush a wash of paint over a bamboo skewer
- Make the flag by cutting your preferred shape out of canvas paper
- With a gluestick, affix scrapbook paper first to one side of the canvas paper flag, trim, then cover back side and trim again
- I used my favorite Making Memories type letter stickers to spell out 'happy birthday'
- Use hot glue to glue the flag to the skewer
- Find a few patriotic beads and use hot glue to glue them to the top of the skewer
- Put a tiny amount of hot glue on one point of a plastic gemstone star and glue onto your bead tower
- Insert your festive flag into your vase & fill with garden flowers!
