Hello all! Tomorrow is Independence Day and usually it is a holiday that I don't decorate for but here is a quick creative idea. This is made from the cardboard used for bolts of fabric. Working at a fabric store makes access to these very easy. Don't worry, you can still go to a fabric store and ask for the cardboard, it just ends up in recycling anyways and an employee will happily give you one or several. What I did was wrap batting around it first for more thickness and then added the fabric. There are two patterns here, the main fabric is a miniature flag print and the other was part of an Andy Warhol style soup can fabric. A bit of ribbon is also added around the stars. This is so fast to make, everything is hot glued together. There you have it a quick decoration that is appropriate for any patriotic holiday or just because.
I accomplished a years worth of creativity on a budget. Now this blog is just for all of my creative outlets. My creativity involves a lot of craft projects, artwork and a few odds and ends.
