Memorial day : Stars

It's  a Memorial day  crafts with Stars ...


 
I found this flag cup in my collection.  And made this small arrangement with flowers, star picks and red and white stripe ribbon.  



The stars I cut with a Big Shot  Sizexx Star die cut.
The red, white and blue floral is from Dollar tree.
My ribbon is from my Christmas decorations box.



And this a bottle with stars



I cut these Stars from cardstock and covered in a patriotic scrapbook paper. Glued on wooden skewers and place with ribbon in the bottle.
The blue painted bottle is wrapped in red print scrapbook paper and star.
