Celebrate Independence Day with these easy-to-make Fourth of July crafts. There’s a craft for every age, so everyone can show their support of the red, white, and blue this month.
FOURTH OF JULY TEE Materials White T-shirt Fabric Paint (Red & Blue) Paint Brushes Directions 1. Paint the child’s handprint with blue paint. Then, place the child’s hand on the front, top left of the shirt. The blue handprint will represent the stars of the flag. 2. Next, using the red paint, paint stripes to the right of the handprint. Leave space between each red stripe to represent the white stripes. 3. Let the paint dry before wearing!
STRAW FIREWORKS Courtesy of Crafty Morning Materials Bendy Straws Rubber Bands Blue and Red Paint Paper Directions 1. Stretch out the straws at the bend of the straw, and group them in your hand. 2. Bend the straws so they are sticking out in a firework formation. 3. Have someone wrap a rubber band around the bottom of them as you’re holding them. Let go and put another
rubber band right under the top. 4. Allow your kiddos to dip the straws into blue paint before stamping them onto your paper. Follow the step with the red paint,
and you’ll have your fireworks. DIY CLOTHESPIN WREATH Courtesy of Evelyn Romans Materials 12-inch Box Wreath Frame 64 Clothespins Spray Paint (red, white, and blue!)
