Patriotic Ruffle Skirt

  I love dressing my kids in red, white and blue for parades and the month of July!   They always look so cute!   If I had the time, I'd be making a darling ruffle skirt like these ones at Mama Says Sew!!!   The material and style are nothing short of adorable!!!!   (Then I'd want to buy red cowboy boots for my daughter too!)

See the patriotic ruffle skirt.

Chevron Pallet Flag

Combine the trends of using a pallet and painting chevron stripes to make this cute American flag for the month of July!    Read more about it at Sisters of the Wild West.

See the chevron pallet flag .

Sparkler Shields

  My kids love sparklers but are afraid of them. I Love To Dream, Do You? turned a cup into a shield from the sparks hitting the kids hands.   I think this may do the trick this year.

How unique!

Celebrate the holidays with a flag cake made with strawberries and blueberries. It almost looks too nice too eat. See this at The Caffeinated Globe.

Naptime Crafters turned a women's tank into an adorable patriotic romper for her daughter. It was so easy!!!!

Patriotic Plate Wall (and more!)

7 Layer Studios has such fun and patriotic decor for her house including this red, white and blue plate wall. I also love her red and white polka dot window treatments she puts up for the occasion. There are so many beautiful things to look at in her July decor.

See the patriotic plate wall (and other decor.)

2x4 Flag

Brown Paper Packages has a flag idea post up today to celebrate Flag Day. My favorite of the ideas is this flag made from 2x4's! Originally created by How Does She?, Brown Paper Packages shares it again.

Happy Flag Day!

See the 2x4 Flag.

Star Lantern and Fabric Roses!

Here's another two ideas from the Wednesday party that caught my eye!

My July needs a darling star lantern like this one from Craft Goodies. She is so nice to share the pdf file for the stars and a tutorial so you can make one for yourself. Fabulous for outdoors or on a patriotic mantle.

Fabric roses last a long time and could definitely find a place in my home! Head over to Pickup Some Creativity to see how to make them.
