Crafting With Kids: Patriotic Crafts

Happy Friday my friends! Are you excited about the long weekend? I know I am! We don’t have any set plans but we are considering driving to Reno, Nevada to visit family. If we decide to stay home we’ll probably have a relaxing weekend and backyard BBQ to celebrate Memorial Day. In case you’re looking for a few patriotic crafts and treats to make with the kids this weekend here are a few I shared last year.

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll be back tomorrow with a cute gift idea and an update on my photography class.

Washi Tape Planter

You know how much I love washi tape right? In case you’re not tired of seeing my washi tape crafts I have another one to share with you. I recently came across this pinterest find by Centsational Girl.

I think it’s so creative and the washi tape fireworks are awesome. It inspired me to make my own wash tape planter to celebrate the upcoming patriotic holidays.

I found the washi tape at Micheal’s and the planter at Lowes. I wrapped the tape around the planter, smoothing out the air bubbles as I went along. I’m really happy with the way it turned out. Isn’t washi tape fun to work with? It can pretty much transform something plain into cute and fun in a matter of minutes.

So there you have it, another washi tape craft! In case you’ve missed them here are a few more washi tape ideas (and more soon to come from guest posts I’ve written).

p.s. remember how I said I was ready for life to get back to normal? Well that didn’t include me breaking my toes. This is why I’ve been absent the last few days. It’s becoming less painful but it’s still hard for me to get around. I’m going to attempt to finish a few tutorials but if I’m MIA for a few days then you know why. :)
