Holding the Fourth of July together…

I am thinking about having a buffet for our brunch instead of setting all of the tables. Just a few supplies, wooden clothes pins, wooden stars, acrylic paint, hot glue .....

Actually I think I will just fold the napkin in thirds to slip behind the utensils on the front.  That way they can make it through the buffet line without having to adjust the clip and napkin then hold the utensils----and it would still be cute.

Uncle Sam Hat Party Favors

Just a little clue to the theme of our float! I am making these little favors for my breakfast table this year to go with the patriotic pinwheels.

I took about a 3" circle of tissue paper and glued it to the top of a toilet paper roll. Next I printed the Uncle Sam Hat Party Favor download on card-stock. I used a glue stick to attach it to the toilet paper roll. I then filled the tube with goodies and attached a 3" red card-stock circle with a glue gun. I printed the circles on a piece of red card-stock to make it easier for me. You can find what I used for the brim of the hat here. (Make sure you print full size--no scaling, so the downloads fit the toilet paper roll properly.)

Happy Fourth of July

Mine will be filled with fireworks. They are (so far ---notice I haven't gotten that far) really simple to make.

You can download images from their site, here. I used vintage clip-art from this book.
