4th of July Crafts
We are having fun getting ready to make 4th of July crafts. Little artists will enjoy learning about the United States birthday by making and wearing some of these fun crafts. Even though it is a few weeks away we want to make sure you have time to be creative and decorate.
Our First project is fun to make and wear to any parade. This can also be done as a family project. Everyone gets to make and design their very own crown.

In the next craft, we are paying tribute to ‘lady liberty.’ Kids love to make and wear crafts just like these. Today we are making this wearable statue of liberty crown. For the pattern please click the image below.

Next up is a craft that is inspired by something you may eat on Independence Day, a hot dog. It is estimated that Americans eat 20 billion hot dogs a year. That is a lot of grilling. I know hot dogs are my guilty pleasure while camping.
Artists can color, and use yarn to add ‘ketchup’ and ‘mustard’ to the project. You can also cut up bits of green yarn to make relish. Or, if you want to get really creative you might rip small pieces of white paper to add ‘onions’ You might be surprised as to what your little artist likes on his or her hot dog. To make your own click the image below.

It would not be a fourth of July celebration without fireworks. Love them or hate them at least these are silent fireworks. This next project can be done as directed or on black paper. To create on black paper use chalk to trace out firework shapes and let your little artist add glue and glitter.

In today’s final 4th of July crafts, we are making our own windsocks. These look beautiful hanging around any room. You may also add to the end of a 3′ dowl and walk down a parade route. Click the image below to find out more.
