Free Rustic 4th of July Scrapbook Paper
Brian Woodcock
There's no shortage of fun ways to celebrate Independence Day. While there are plenty of 4th of July activities to keep you and the family occupied this time of year, one of our favorites is making patriotic 4th of July crafts. Gather the hot glue gun, a bit of burlap, and every red, white, and blue art supply you can find to bring these festive ideas to life. Bonus, may of them can do double-duty as party decor.
Hosting friends and family? Help make everyone feel at home with DIY flag placemats or decorative star centerpieces. If you're not planning your own at-home celebration, give your interior the holiday treatment instead with a flag pillow cover, star-adorned dish towel, and burlap banner to hang in the entryway. Don't forget to craft or buy a 4th of July wreath for the front door. Plus, your kids will love getting in on the crafting spree, with ideas like 4th of July star catchers and mini popsicle stick flags. Once the crafting is complete, the baking can commence. Try one of our 25 favorite 4th of July cake recipes. For more easy holiday inspiration, read through patriotic quotes while listening to a 4th of July songs. So let the celebrations, fun times, BBQing, and summer begin!

Festive Placemat
Look to (hand-stitched) stars and ticking stripes for a grand Fourth of July placemat.
Step 1: Cut a 15- by 11-inch rectangle from ticking stripe fabric and a 6- by 5-inch rectangle from denim fabric.
Step 2: Use a "disappearing" pen (available at craft stores) to trace a five-point star on denim. Outline by passing a need and thin white yarn though each of the points.
Step 3: Sew the denim to the top left-hand corner of the ticking stripe. (Iron-on adhesive will also do the trick.)
Step 4: Create a relaxed frayed edge by pulling out threads along the placemat's border.

Cut a piece of red, white, and blue berry-print fabric 1/2 inch larger than the cardboard round. Coat one side of the cardboard with spray adhesive and center fabric on top; fold excess fabric around edge and tack down with hot-glue. Cut out fabric above the hole in the cardboard.
