Quick Weekend Crafting for the Fourth of July

Quick Weekend Crafting for the Fourth of July by May Flaum

Hello July! And hello to contributing designer May Flaum, who has a perfect project for this weekend: use just scraps, finish it quickly, and making something simple into something special? Sounds like a winner to me – and you can go red, white, and blue if you wish, or recolour if you don’t have an excuse for fireworks coming right up! Take it away, May.

Use up the scraps and get your scrapbook paper to make pretty treats and favours: that’s my agenda today!

I noticed that some of the colors in the Starshine collection would work great for some Fourth of July treats that I’m wanting to dress up for a party. Taking scrapbook papers and dressing up simple and inexpensive treats and favors is one of my absolute favorite things to do! Today I have a video tutorial showing you exactly how I made mine.

In my video example I have used candy and chocolate, however you can use this idea in a number of ways:

  • Gift boxes
  • Around a gift bag
  • Fill a box with treats with a theme, then wrap papers around that box
  • Gather a few items then use paper to bind them together
  • Create a layered bow or topper for a scrapbook page or card

Whether candies or a box of homemade cookies, for a gift or for fun – there are so many ways that you can dress up packages and gifts to create unique things with your homemade touch on them! What I love about this is handing someone a chocolate bar is nice, but the extra time spent dressing it up a bit lets them know I really put some energy and thought into it. A bonus? This is a great way to use up various sized scraps and bits of papers, stickers, and embellishments that I want to get used!

    Such a great idea!

    There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

    Further, instead of holding up days or half a month for a choice, numerous online organizations will react inside a few hours. Rivalry in this market is savage, so they will do what it takes to get your business. Cash Advance Corona
