Happy (almost) Fourth of July! The summer’s fireworks-endorsed holiday is just two days away. How will your family be celebrating? If you’re like many folks in southeast Michigan, the Fourth of July can be spent with family and friends enjoying sunshine and good times during the day and sparklers and fireworks at night. This week’s roundup offers some projects to celebrate the day and make the most of the setting around you.
Baby’s Breath Friendship Bracelet
Sometimes all the crafting supplies you’ll need for a project can be found outdoors! Try this tutorial from A Fabulous Fete for a nature-themed accessory.
Fourth of July Sparkler Holders
Keep those small hands safe with a patriotic sparkler holder — just like this one from Ardor Blog.
DIY Travel Album
Capture some great photos from the Fourth of July party? Turn them into a one-of-a-kind album with this tutorial from Polka Dot Chair.
Recycled Firecrackers
Just like the friendship bracelet, you don’t have to look too far for the supplies needed in this green project from Crafting a Green World. Have your children create a batch of these firecrackers for a festive table setting.
