Fourth of July Projects - Inspired by Pinterest

I'm loving all the awesome Fourth of July crafts and recipes people are pinning!

So I couldn't resist making a few this month for the Pinterest Challenge.  I really could have done Fourth of July crafts all weekend long but I had to limit myself to just three.
First, Connor and I had a blast making these Firecracker Cupcakes.  I ended up using red, white, and blue sprinkles instead of doing the three colors of icing but the pull 'n' peel twizzlers is such a genious idea!  Thank you Jamie for the great idea!  These were a huge hit at our cook-out this past weekend.
Next, I HAD to make this Patriotic Wreath created by Sky over at Capital B.

I'm so in love with how it turned out!  And it wasn't hard to make at all.  I thought for sure it would take me forever but it didn't.  The only thing I did differently was add felt to the paper stars. 
And I'm obsessed with all the handprint art I've seen lately.  My goal is to make an alphabet book of handprints this summer as a fun keepsake so, in honor of the Independence Day, I started with an American flag handprint.  I can't wait to work on more handprint art.

Now it's your turn!!  We want to see all your Pinterest inspired projects!  Link them up HERE.

  2. I love the ideas of the cupcakes. I saw that wreath and wish I could have made it. Maybe next year. I want to eventually make a wreath for every holiday. We did a similar hand print flag. I love hand print art :)
