4th of July Fruit Salad

For the 4th of July my mom had a party! We all had to make a family flag and display it on the deck!

 My mom set the table to perfection with beautiful decorations!

I decided for a dessert for the holiday weekend I would make a special fruit salad! I decided to make it with watermelon and blueberries! I cut out star shapes from the watermelon using a cookie cutter! SO easy ! It is a great way to make the holiday festive and fun!

Cut the watermelon into rings...

 Place the cookie cutter on top of the rings...

 Press down...

 Push out...

Ta-Da!

 Wa-La! So easy and cute!!

 I cut up the rest of the watermelon and placed it in a separate bowl..so nothing went to waist !

So pretty and festive! 

 I added yummy cookies and cupcakes to the mix...

Enjoy!!

It is as simple as 1-2-3!

4th of July Burlap Banner

This was my first burlap banner so I am super excited to share this with you and how I did it!! Bare with me...as I said this is my first time! =)


Before  I start I want to share this cute picture my cousin-in-law made over at mineforthemaking.com:

 I placed it in a shadow box on my counter and LOVE it! Stop by her blog to check it out!! She has great ideas and is super talented!!


What you will need:

Burlap
String
Paint
Cookie Cutter
Hot Glue Gun
Ribbon

 Cut burlap to whatever size you see fit works best for your project! I cut them into squares! I made 5 squares to fit my living room mirror!

 Place the string you chose to use to hang your burlap banner on the burlap..

 Glue the material over the burlap and hold in place for 5-10 seconds.

 I then measured the ribbon to match the top of each square and cut to size.

 Hot glue the ribbon on each square...

 I didn't have a sponge so I used a cookie cutter to make my stars..

 Pick your paint colors..

 Hold the cookie cutter in place and use a sponge brush. Paint the inside of the cookie cutter...

 Wa-La! Cute right?

 Finished product!

 Happy 4th of July everyone! God Bless America!!
