Independence Day Tutorials

My mom was great, she got us involved in every holiday. We were doing crafts year round. The woman had projects for every season, and July was no exception. In celebration of the season, here are some links to stuff I though would be great to make for the 4th of July!

Papercrafts:
Origami Stars
Stand-Up Paper Star

Other Decorations:
Flag Chair Covers
Tie-Dye Bunting
Firecrackers
*I never made the firecrackers, but my family used basically the same supplies (tinsel stems, aka pipe cleaners) and some sparkley beads to make little fireworks.

I never made these, but they look so fun! (I'm short...)
Can-Do Stilts
