craft ideas for the fourth of july

AHH…I love summer!  Really everything about it…even the heat:)  I love opening up the backdoor and letting the kids run outside and swim in the pool.  

I love the sizzle of meat on the grill.  I love the smell of sunscreen. Ok, I know…I’m a weirdo.   

There are just so many things to be excited about in summer.   Especially because school is out which means sleeping in (or as late as my 3 year old will allow me) is definitely on the agenda.  

All those things are part of why I LOVE the Fourth of July.  Today, I have some super awesome Fourth of July Craft Ideas to share to help make your holiday sparkle!!
