Flag Flyin' Fun!

My sister wanted to host an Artie Partie for her friends when I visited Atlanta and we had such a good time!  They all wanted to paint my soft sculpture flag door hangers as the 4th of July is upon us...s we broke out the red white and blue bottles and got to work!  My other sister came along for the fun, too!

After lots of visiting and checking out what's going on with our children (and especially how fast they grow!), we have adorable door hangers for the 4th, Labor Day, Columbus, Veterans's and President's Day!

We also painted flag plates for holiday goodies...well, more like we were going to paint these until I realized I forgot to paint the red and white paint!  So I did these for the girls and now they can serve whatever they wish or display it.

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Craft Camp: Day Three! Patriotic Door Hangers

I pledge allegence to this canvas on which this craft project was based on!

That means there was a bit of canvas prep work before the kids arrived.  

 Today we made patriotic soft sculpture door hangers for the 4th of July and the many other national holidays their families may want to hang them. 

 Lots of attention to the stars and bars, high lights, low lights and outlining.

 We attached a hanging wire and gussied them up with a bow all ready for the nation's birthday...238 years strong!

I had such a great group of kids this first week and will miss them...the learned a lot and I learned an awful lot from them!  Stay tuned for session 2 postings.
