July 4th: Party Craft Idea Tutorials and Recipes

 patriotic star garland tutorial

We watched fireworks already tonight with friends and family, and I hope that yours will be fun and safe. I love these ideas from Martha Stewart and Better Homes and Gardens for crafts, food and decorating.

I really feel that a brush up on history to help with the celebration of  the holiday is essential though.

Most of these ideas can be done in any shape or color for a variety of events. Have fun!
