Patriotic Ideas Galore!!!

Welcome to the Patriotic / Fourth of JulyCategorically Crafting Show .

where you can show off all of your patriotic ideas!

The Fourth of July is coming up quickly. What do you plan on doing? I will be celebrating the 5th birthday of my daughter! I have a few patriotic store bought items up around the house.

Here are a few ideas to get you started on your month of patriotism!

I'm loving this star made from slates! The aqua blue is so pretty! Sassy Sanctuary has the tutorial.

Head over to Sun Scholars for lots of great patriotic ideas including a link to this flag made from driftwood!

How unique!

Celebrate the holidays with a flag cake made with strawberries and blueberries. It almost looks too nice too eat. See this at The Caffeinated Globe.

Naptime Crafters turned a women's tank into an adorable patriotic romper for her daughter. It was so easy!!!!
Both the button flag and "Wave On" printable can be found at Polka Dots On Parade. Super Cute!

Because I would love to see more ideas (and probably some of you want to see more) Feel free to link your idea to share or if you don't have a post up, leave it in the comments. The more, the merrier!!!! You can repost an idea from the last year or two!!!!

Please join your crafty post if, and only if, it corresponds with the category and theme if Patriotic. (If it doesn't fit in this category, please link it up to Whatever Goes Wednesday.) Link up crafts, decor, sewing projects, food, tips, etc, that has to do with Patriotic. If you have joined a Patriotic project to a party on my blog before, feel free to add it to this show too! If you have a lot of turkey projects, please choose your favorites. (Please no more than 4 posts per blog). Link to the specific posts, not to your main blog page. Let's see what you have created (either recently or in the past)!

You can paste the "Categorically Crafting" button (click the button above for the html) onto your blog post. I would love to see these floating around so more people can post their themed projects. I will leave this linky post open until AFTER the Fourth of July so you can link up after you post. Keep checking back for more ideas!!

PB Duvet Cover, Chevron Flag and Twine-wrapped Words

I'm painting, painting and painting the baby's nursery! It's looking so great! I can't wait to be finished.

I am only highlighting a few projects from today's party for now! Check for more tomorrow (if I find the time.)

I'm inspired by this Pottery Barn inspired duvet cover! It's looks so soft and feminine! Wow! See how it was made at A Cozy Cup of Tea!

This is the first flag I've seen using a chevron print and can I just say I think it is incredibly cute! I'm smitten with a chevron flag! See it at Kitty Cats and Airplanes!

I love the twine wrapped wire words at Balancing The Dream. She has some pictures of cool ideas you can do with this technique!

2x4 Flag

Brown Paper Packages has a flag idea post up today to celebrate Flag Day. My favorite of the ideas is this flag made from 2x4's! Originally created by How Does She?, Brown Paper Packages shares it again.

Happy Flag Day!

See the 2x4 Flag.

Paint Stick Flag

Happy Memorial Day!!!!

What do you think that flag is made of? Try... paint sticks! Paint a few paint sticks and glue a star on and you have an adorable flag for the patriotic holidays! This great idea was created by Dreaming In Color.

See how to make a paint stick flag!
