July 4th Candle Jar
Jul
Here is a fun candle jar decoration that we made for the 4th of July.
You will need some glass jars (we used canning jars), red, white and blue tissue paper, Mod Podge glue, battery operated candles and flags.
Decorate the inside of the jars using the red, white and blue tissue paper and the Mod Podge glue.
The jars, all decorated in red, white, and blue.
Once they were dry, we put the battery operated candle inside and added a flag.
We had our family 4th of July picnic over the weekend, so they were added to the tables as a decoration.

July 4th Utensil Holder
Jul
This fun craft is a perfect decoration for your 4th of July picnic!
You will need 3 empty containers, I used the 1/2 gallon cardboard containers of juice. We don’t usually drink those, but they were on sale for $1, so they were perfect. You also need red, white and blue paint, something to put the paint in and something to paint with, craft sticks, star shaped sponge and some glue.
Hailey and Hunter painted the craft sticks red, white and blue.
Once the paint is dry, glue your craft sticks to the cardboard container. I used Mod Podge glue. (I did this step myself.)
Hailey added some white star shapes, using the sponge on the blue sections.
The finished utensil holders.
We had our family 4th of July celebration over the weekend, so we got to try them out 🙂
