Memorial day paper wreath

 Memorial Day is just around the corner and we are making these fun and easy wreaths...using my favorite paper plates. 

• White paper plate (center cut out) 
• Paint or crayons 
• Sticker or decorations 
• Glue
• Ribbon for Bow or hanging 
• Paper Stars ( i cut with my die cut machines out of construction paper) 

Once I had all the supplies set up and the middles cut out of the paper plates, I let them get started right away. I gave them a few instructions:

• Color or paint  the paper plate first.
• Use a glue stick to place the stars around the wreath.
• Add glitter glue and sticker gems or any other decorations they wanted. 

• 
  
  
  
  

Diy Fabric crafts

Happy Friday and today another fun Memorial day crafts 

It's vintage jar and tin can....

i found this cute jar plaque at DG clearance and repainted it red. Added fabric tie ribbon and heart. 

Here's a close up....

 Fabric Hearts 

in the matching tin can I made an arrangement with fabric hearts on sticks and greenery. With a fabric tie and bow around the can. 

DIY Patriotic Rag Fabric Banner

 

1/2 yard each – 6 different fabric choices (5 or 7 choices work well too)

FABRIC NOTES

• When shopping for fabric go straight to whatever’s on sale and
•  choose by colors and generic prints. The cute holiday or 
• occasion prints can become lost once the fabric is cut into strips.
    
• For this garland I chose 6 different fabrics, 
  
  
•  strips cut at 18″ long, which will then be folded in half
•  when stringing. 
•  1/2 yard of fabric measures approximately 18″ x 44″ 

CUTTING FABRIC

5 fabric choices –  cut 18 strips per fabric choice x 5 = 90 strips total
6 fabric choices –  cut 15 strips per fabric choice x 6 = 90 strips total
7 fabric choices –  cut 13 strips per fabric choice x 7 = 91 strips total

Hanging string (jute twine) measures 80″L – or 5′ of fabric strip space 

with 10 extra inches on each side for hanging.

Direction : 

Lay your stripes out in the order you like and start

 tying them on by making a loop and inserting stripes through loop. 

Once the first fabric strip is secure on the twine, move on to the next strip 

and tie it to the twine, then scoot it over next to the first tied strip. 

Continue to tie strips until all 5, 6 or 7 fabric choices are on the twine. 

 Repeat this sequence until all 90 or 91 strips have been tied to the twine,

 Then hang up and trim if needed. And Enjoy your banner.
