Decorating for the Fourth of July is always a fun time around our house. This is how our front porch looks like this year.

The flags are from Hobby Lobby and the bows are from the dollar store.

Wood Flag

I went to Home Depot and bought the wood post bundles (I used 12 of them) and spray painted them with red and white paint and used star sponge stamps. Then I dipped (or use a sponge brush) the stamps in white acrylic paint and pressed them on the blue spray painted corner of the wood slats after screwing them all together. See picture.

You could also stick this wood flag in your grass for a yard decoration…..

Have a happy 4th of July.

Lindy

This is just the basic Rice Krispie Treat recipe.

*5-6 cups of miniature Marshmallows (make sure they are fresh).
*6 cups chocolate rice cereal

Put Olive Oil on your hands to shape the base of the boats.

Melt butter in pot on medium-low heat add marshmallows, until almost all are melted, remove from heat and add cereal.

Spoon out small piles of cocoa rice cereal, makes about 13, when they are cool enough to handle put oil on your hands and shape into boat shapes.

I tried the candy cover sticks but didn’t work well for me so I used skewers cut in half for the sail.

I used a chop stick to poke the candy stick in boat base but I liked using the skewers better.

Supplies I used to decorate:

*4 12×12 Paper of your choice
*6 skewers cut in half
*Double Sided Tape
*scissors and heavy duty cutters for skewers
*Bakers Twine (I used blue and white)
*White or Colored Life Savers
*Cookies’n Cream Bites/balls (optional)
*Washi Tape for Flags (optional)
*Goldfish Cookie Graham’s

Cut out 2 triangle shapes one larger than the other see Sweetp for more instructions.
