Party Decorations: 4th of July

July 4^th. Barbeque, parades, fireworks. But what about decorations?! Don't worry - using scraps and a few items from your scrapbooking stash, you can decorate and host a festive 4^th of July celebration.

Invitation: After printing and matting your invitation, punch three stars and adhere. Tie a ribbon knot and attach in the center of the middle star using an adhesive dot.

Votive Rings: Measure the circumference around a glass votive candle holder. Cut a length of white cardstock to fit around the holder, overlapping slightly. Cut blue and red cardstock scraps to create a flag. Punch three yellow stars and attach all pieces to the white background using either a Xyron adhesive machine or liquid glue.

Napkin Rings: Tie ribbon around rolled napkins.

"Liberty" Bells: Tie ribbon bows onto small bells.

Face Painting: Pull out old templates and use them for face painting patterns.

With a few supplies and a little creativity, you can create an easy, decorative, festive Fourth of July!
