Happy Fourth!

In honor of Team USA competing for the World Cup as well as the Fourth of July this week, I've decided to make a festive decoration that's perfect for any American themed party. Happy celebrating!

Materials: wooden crate, wooden stars, wooden letters, star candles, festive ribbon, RWB paint, paint brushes (preferably one small one medium sized--not pictured)

Time: 1-2 hours (including dry time)

I decided to paint the ends blue to put the stars on and the four rails every other red and white. I also painted the letters blue but left a little white for dimension and I painted the stars white. I used the small paint brush to get in between the cracks and the medium sized one

I used a hot glue gun to glue the letters and stars. I think it works better than craft glue or tacky glue. 

I put three stars on one end and three on the other although you cannot see the other side in the pictures, my apologies.

I thought these star candles were too cute to pass up! I put a couple inside the crate and a couple outside to light up the night. Side note: Michael's is currently having a sale on all Fourth of July decorations, I suggest you check it out if you are hosting a party or just love the Fourth.

And the final product:

I know it's been a few weeks since my last post, but I have some very special things coming soon that I can't wait to show you!

Thanks for tuning in!
