Great Ideas for the 4th!

flag_banner.jpg

Our great American holiday is approaching quickly. Have I made anything for it yet? Nope.

So for the past few weeks I have not been motivated to complete any projects I'd started or to do anything new either. Sometimes I just get in a rut and would rather read, watch SYTYCD, or lay by the pool than do anything craft-related. After starting on some jewelry I'm making for bridesmaids at a friend's wedding, however, the creative itch began and it kept growing. Now I have so many things I want to do, I don't have enough time to do them. Does this ever happen to you?!

Since I've been working on the jewelry this weekend (and plan to show it off sometime later) I have nothing I made to show you. Instead I rounded up some great 4th of July projects I've found around blog-land that I love. These, along with others, have inspired me to get working on my own.

Enjoy!

I love this one. She uses plain elastic as a belt outside her dress. It's not attached so she can change the look of her dress by moving it up and down her torso/waist/hips. Perfect!
at the Scrap Shoppe
Made using the Silhouette :)
at Heart Break Kids
This is the cutest ever, right?
at Sassy Sanctuary
I love scrap wreaths!! 

Feeling Patriotic?
Yeah, me, too. 
 Hopefully I can actually post something I made soon. :)
