Patriotic Ideas?
Comments (21)Oh my gosh!! More great ideas!!! And I'm glad to see so many others are enjoying the ideas as well. thanks everyone...I have added the new ones listed to my "to do" list..lol..man I sure hope I can find some goodies to start working on these next week. I did score some cool RWB colored glass and such at the thrift store this week. Was thinking maybe a Patriotic totem? Will have to see how it looks. Also want to get flowers this weekend...of course they are going to be Red, white, and blue and maybe some yellow thrown in. We have HUGE Oak trees here and all I can think about is the song "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree"...lol..been singing it all week!!! We also have old apple trees down near the front of the drive way and mail box....Anyone else thinking about the Andrew Sisters yet?

You can get several types of faux floral bouquets at Walmart for about $1 a piece and pull the separate flowers off each stem - or using wire cutters, cut the separate flowers/buds off with some of the stem still on it for easy insertion into the tissue paper covered styrofoam. Maybe add a small round tag and/or small rectangular shipping label (get them at Walmart or Staples office supply store) with words written on it - "We Will Always Remember" - "We Will Never Forget" on one side and "Thank You" on the back using red and blue markers. Tie the tag onto the flag stick or tie it to a separate floral pick and insert it into the styrofoam. Maybe a Star colored in red or blue on one side of the tag.

Comments (21)It kind of looks like binding doesn't it? I knew I had wanted to do birthing method, but didn't want to sew 1/2" into my block. So I sewed 1-1/2" strips of fabric around the block, with the 1/2" seam for the birthing and 1/4 seam to attach, it's about 3/4" inch around, which provides a little framing, but I felt any bigger than that would be overwhelming with the red/white/blue flag strips which are brighter than the rest. --Amy...See MoreAnyone use jumbo slab from One Quartz; Calacatta Patriotic.
