Red and White Paper Stars For A Patriotic Display {Creative Craft Bloggers Challenge}

June 30, 2017August 2, 2017

Last Updated on August 2, 2017 by lydiaf1963

This month’s Creative Craft Bloggers Challenge has the theme Red, White or Blue. I decided to revisit a fun origami craft from Christmas, folding paper stars.

You can use just about any type of paper for this. I chose sheets of red and white and if I’d been able to find the right shade of blue I would have made a couple more. The are so many possibilities with a project like this. Besides a tabletop display you could make a garland or attach a thin dowel and add them to plants. Stack a bunch of small stars in a pretty bowl for a centerpiece.

Once you get the hang of making them, the stars come together easily. Follow the video instructions at Homemade Gifts Made Easy and you’ll have a bunch assembled in no time!

As mentioned, this is a challenge for members of the Creative Craft Bloggers Group. We do a monthly challenge, host a weekly link party called Creatively Crafty and support each other on social media. If you’re interested in joining, drop me a line in the comments and we’ll help you get started.

Easy Decorated Votives

As far as crafting goes, it doesn’t get much easier than winding some glittery cord around a glass votive holder. It probably took me longer to assemble the materials than it did to make these easy decorated votives.

Last Updated on August 2, 2017 by lydiaf1963 The bloggers at Movie Monday have chosen the one movie that has defined Summer since the 1970s…Jaws. Both the book and the movie were terrifying when they first came out…the music, the suspense, the HUGE shark! It’s no wonder the entire series of movies is replayed on…

Last Updated on August 2, 2017 by lydiaf1963 So…the stash. If you are a creative person you have one. The bulk of mine is composed of yarn, but there’s a good bit of paper, too. Oh, and some cardboard I thought might come in handy. Plus some fabric leftover from a set of kitzy IKEA…
