We are planning a little Fourth of July party with some friends and family. I love having parties and I love celebrating the Fourth! I was looking around for a little party inspiration and thought I’d share some of my favorites…
I love the pinwheel idea, so today I decided to try to make some of my own. I think I’m going to use them as center pieces on our picnic tables…if it isn’t too windy {you never know in Kansas}.
I used this tutorial. They were so easy to make. Now I just need some more scrapbook paper to finish up.
I gathered up as many red, white, and blue things as I could find around the house. Our party won’t be quite as elaborate as the parties above {although they are so pretty}. I am trying to use as much as I can from around the house and from Joel’s birthday last year. This weekend will be full of sprucing up the yard, party details, and time with friends. Can’t wait!
