Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
This is a giant flag decoration I made with the help of my friends and family. They each put a hand print on it. I drew light pencil lines and then did the hand lettering within the stripes of some of my favorite patriotic quotes. I hope all that celebrate this Independence Day have a safe and fun time with those you craft with and for!
