Patriotic Reds

I found this cool inspiration for a July craft project.
It is a paper towel roll and some papers and
a vintage image.  Love it!!
It would be cute with star tinsel garland too, huh?


I found this image last month playing around. 
It gets to me.
I feel like our freedom is being choked out daily.


This is cool for a patriotic wreath.

The 2 craft projects were gleaned from this web-site:

I've totally fallen in LOVE with Vintage imagery!!

Shout out to Banner Haus News for her recent revealing post that helped me find this web page.

I'm so thankful for freedom in America!!
I pray we are able to keep it!
May God bless America!

  5. Nice projects and sentiments. I agree with you - I don't know what ever happened to freedom of speech - with all that political correctness one has to sign a disclaimer before opening ones mouth - it's really sad!

  6. Oh I am so ready for the 4th of july after this post! I remember going to Italy on the 4th of July two years ago. I worried that I would not be able to see fireworks in America on the 4th. To my surprise, fireworks are every night in the summer in Italy! LOL

  7. Oh Denise, you've made my day! I absolutely love making patriotic crafts, and these go to the top of the list! I just have to make that rocket, and I only hope I can find some of that garland. That wreath is simply gorgeous too. Thank you so much for sharing these ideas and the website!
    Happy REDnesday!

  12. I really like that!!! So cute!

    Fireworks are outlawed here and I live in the middle of 3 law enforcement officers...lol...so I think I will make that rocket too and enjoy it instead of the illegal kind!
