Flag Blocks

This flag decoration was fun and easy to construct. I made it with 2-6 inch long and 3-9 inch long 2x4's, and a square 3.25 x 3.25 block, for the star block. I white washed the blocks with watered down cream paint. Then I used mod podge to adhere scrapbook paper to the front of each block. After the paper was dry I adhered vinyl lettering and the star. Then I took a small stamp pad and rubbed it on the edges to give it an aged look. Lastly I tied a ribbon around the stack of blocks. Happy 4th of July!

Housekeeping Craft

At church I was asked to come up with a craft for the ladies to do to go along with the theme of cleaning. The night was so fun. Several ladies got up and told us and/or demonstrated homemade cleaning products. They showed how to make a wash for your veggies and fruit, window cleaner, laundry soap and softener. After the presentations everyone was able to decorate a bucket to keep their cleaning supplies at home. They were given vinyl lettering that said "housekeeping", lots of options of ribbon and flowers. I wish I had gotten a picture of everyone's buckets, they all turned out super cute! (I forgot to mention that I got the buckets and flowers at the dollar store!!)
