My Patriotic Parade

Since July 4th is next week ,I thought I would do a little patriotic recap.. Here we go !

I am going to start with my favorite patriotic project ..the two stamped table runners I made. The top one is on my sister -in-laws table in Connecticut . I made hers a lot bigger than mine because she has a wonderful HUGE farmhouse table . You can see my table runner post here .

My next favorite is the flag pillow redo ! I just love how this turned out . I redid the decomesh wreath and the flag pillow in this post . The decomesh flag wreath is the most popular post on my blog!

Next my daughter and I made these painted mason jars we saw on Pinterest . Here is the link to the jar post , and a link to the pinterest pin.

They turned out so super cute ! I am going to hate having to put them away !

I made this banner for my outdoor bike planter out of felt. you can read about it here ..

We made this trifle for Memorial Day , but I am sure we will be making one for the 4th of July .. It was easy and so cute ! The directions are here ..

And last but not least :) I finished up this patriotic stitching. Its by Little House Needleworks. I bought the frame at the Goodwill store for 99cents. It has a small mirror in the middle. I painted the frame an off white color and left some of the dark brown showing through. I mounted the stitching on mounting board and glued it to the frame. (Hot glue). I added a red gingham bow, a twine flower ( I made 2 bundles of 2 loops each and glued them together) then painted a little wood star navy and glued that on. Love how it came out ! It is sitting on my hall entry table , It needs a little easel.

I will end this post with some photos of my front porch decorated for our patriotic season !

Thanks so much for visiting and commenting ! Hope you have a great weekend !

Redoing the Red White and Blue..

One of my favorite projects is this patriotic Decomesh wreath I made it 3 years ago and

the red decomesh was really faded this year when I put it up.. So I took it down and took out all the red , and put new red pieces in so it looks alot better.

Here it is after taking out the red pieces.

I use floral pins and also hot glue over the pins to hold the decomesh in. I use pieces of decomesh that are about 18 inches long . Scrunch them up , pin them and hot glue.

I ended up replacing the blue too, it was a little faded but mostly needed puffing up. I think I am going to have to redo the white too so that it is equally as puffy as the rest of the wreath.

Last year I made this flag pillow to put on the chair that sits on our front porch. It too was a little faded , so since I had hot glued all the ruffles on , I ripped those off as well..

I used red gingham ( love the red gingham :), muslin and blue dot fabric.. I use hot glue and pinch the ruffles in place..

I ended up pulling up the blue on the top and making the ruffle go all the way across .

Love my wicker chair that we got last week ! I think the flag pillow looks so cute on it !

Thank you as always for all your nice comments and for visiting my blog ! I appreciate each and every one of you ! Have a great day !

Flag pillow

I saw a flag pillow on Pinterest that I wanted for my front porch chair. Since it was going outside I didn't want to spend any money or too much time on it.. So...I got out my glue gun. First I sewed a rectangle shape from osnaburg ( thick muslin like fabric.) I cut a small rectangle from navy fabric and glued it to the top left corner..Then I used some red and white fabrics that I cut in strips and glued on like stripes.

After I got all the stripes on I cut another navy rectangle and glued it over the first so it stood out more. I cut 4 stars from the white fabric and glued them on. The whole thing took about 40 minutes start to finish.
