One week until Independence Day... the countdown is on!! I have been trying to finish up my patriotic crafts all weekend. I actually created two sets of firecrackers, and here is the first set.
I painted up my stars, sanded the edges, and embellished with ribbon and buttons. I used a bit of distressing ink on the white star.
I have so much fun with craft wire! I just love the spontaneity of its twisting and turning. Here is what I did:
Now these lovely stars are brightening up my mantel!
Stars are just so happy!! I will be showing off my second set of firecrackers later on!
Enjoy your week, my friends!!
**If you haven't noticed, I am giving my blog a bit of a facelift! Bear with me until I get it all finished! **
So cute! I love the ribbon and buttons!
Too cute!! I may have to make some!!
They are adorable.

Love em!! Looks fabulous! Where did you get those stars? I like how they are flat on the bottom so you an put them on a surface. Or did you cut them out your self? Great job!
So cute! I love that blue/white ribbon with the bow 🙂

wow, these are really cute!!
Ok, I'm not a scrapper but I keep reading about distressing ink. Guess I have to get some. Is it that much better than just a dark paint? Or is it because it's easier to apply?
Another great project! Stop by Thursday & link it up to Fab Finds for the Fourth, please?
