Americana Projects For The 4th!

Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays. (I am very fond of fireworks.) I love the bright colors, picnics, parades and the smell of grilling in backyards. I love watching the look on my boys' faces as they watch the big and small fireworks alike.

I also like decorating for the 4th! Red, white and blue patterns and projects always get me in a cheery mood. I've collected some of my favorite ideas and free patterns to inspire you to add a little Americana flair to your home and holiday this Summer - Enjoy!

Homemade Father's Day Gifts

You don't have to spend a lot of money to create a cherished gift for the awesome dads in your life. If you have small kids at home, the Father's Day Rock project or easy Father's Day Card are nice ways to tell dads how special they are. The best part: you probably have everything at home to make these crafts.

The wood craft projects and ideas are easy too but may require a bit more time and planning to assemble. I hope these ideas inspire and motivate you to get creative and make your own gifts for Father's Day.
