RedVines for All ~

DIY Entertaining | Inspiration

I thought I would re-post this super easy DIY idea for the upcoming 4th. Last year these were a hit - they are definitely a crowd pleaser - gotta love those Red Vines!

I thought it would be fun to have something for kids (and adults) to pick up and enjoy while watching the fireworks this Sunday. I recently picked up some patriotic scrapbook paper at JoAnn's -

I simply cut the paper into strips, each a few inches wide -

 And began wrapping the paper around these yummy guys - and sealed the wrap with a little double stick tape.

 Super easy, inexpensive and fun for all ages...I mean, who doesn't like Red Vines?

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

A Great Red, White & Blue ~

I hope you all had an amazing 4th - we had a great long weekend at the beach. It would have been nice if the weather would have cooperated just a bit more, but that didn't stop us from having a fun time!

Kids Project for the 4th ~

I thought it would be fun to get the kiddos involved in a little project for the 4th of July - who doesn't love a little red, white & blue?...well at least with glitter!

 I grabbed a few new supplies and a few I had on hand. I just picked up the felt stars for $1 each at JoAnns, the buckets were from Target for $1 each, the sand was on clearance from Pottery Barn for $3.50, the ribbon was on hand and the chopsticks were from Teriyaki last night...don't throw stuff away, you never know when you might want a few wooden sticks! 

Oh, and some glitter from JoAnns as well.

We started by painting on a little glue around the edges and shaking on the coordinating colored glitter...I know rocket science right?

 

Then I whipped out my hot glue gun and glued on a little ribbon, glued on the chopstick and topped them with the glittered star. 

And here they are...

I am getting excited for the fireworks...and food!
