Show Some American Spirit with These Popular Patriotic Crafts

August 27, 2012 by AllFreeHolidayCrafts

We celebrate our national pride on several occasions, and it can be tricky to come up with crafts all year round that will complement your decor. Luckily, the editors at AllFreeHolidayCrafts.com are always searching for new ideas for all of you readers, and we’ve found some truly outstanding patriotic crafts that will inspire your patriotism this holiday season.

Burlap Stars and Stripes Bunting – If you plan on throwing a party, you’re going to need a patriotic decoration that your guests will notice as soon as they reach your home. This rustic bunting uses a classic design to show off your spirit, and the materials are durable and easy to work with. While some hanging decorations require more advanced skills, this bunting is for crafters of all levels. The result is a charming way to welcome your guests to your next patriotic event.

Patriotic Decorative Blocks – Another unique decorative idea from our patriotic crafts page shows you how to turn old wooden blocks into festive decorations for any room in your house. If you’re looking to try your hand at decoupage, this is the craft for you. The design looks twice as difficult to make as it actually is, and the sturdy design ensures repeated use during all of your patriotic celebrations.

Patriotic Flower Centerpieces – For a creative way to make your table stand out, check out the full tutorial for a unique centerpiece. Working with real flowers can be a hassle, and they only last for a certain period of time. This project is the perfect alternative, as it uses fabric flowers and recyclables, so you can keep your centerpieces for as long as you like. By adding your favorite candies as the finishing touch, you’ll have designed a patriotic craft that will be the center of attention on your holiday table.

Finger Painted Flag – Any good patriotic celebration has an easy craft to entertain the kids. Finger painting is a fun way for them to get dirty, but also create something that they can be proud of. Inspire the spirit of the holidays by showing the children at your party how they can make their very own American flag. This patriotic project will definitely keep them busy so everyone can relax and enjoy their holiday.

 Delicious Patriotic Cake Balls – Top off your patriotic holiday festivities with a dessert that’s both delectable and decorative. These little snacks provide small portions for guests who aren’t looking to fill up on pastries, and the size allows you to create more pieces with the same amount of mix as a regular cake. Choose your favorite flavor and get ready to light the fireworks on your guests’ taste buds!

Here at AllFreeHolidayCrafts.com, we’re always looking for ways to help you make the most of your celebrations. If you’d like to see more patriotic crafts like these, be sure to head over to our page.

Which patriotic holiday is your favorite? We want to hear from you, so let us known below!

How to: Celebrate Labor Day

August 18, 2010 by FaveCrafts

I really can’t believe how fast the summer is going.  Since it’s already nearing the end of August, that means Labor Day is quickly approaching.

This year, Labor Day is Sept. 6.  In case you’re counting, that’s only 19 days away!  Since Labor Day is meant to appreciate American workers, there’s no excuse not to celebrate.

In honor of Labor Day, here are some great patriotic crafts that will help with the festivities.

The Table
The first thing you have to worry about decorating for the celebration, is the table.  Chances are you’re planning to have a few people over for a meal.  In this case, it’s nice to have a little patriotic decor.  This holiday centerpiece is a great way to bring some red, white and blue onto the table without being over the top.

For a little more patriotic crafts with some flair, this All American Tin would make a lovely addition to the table.  Use it to display cookies, or to hold the dinner rolls.

For the Grill

If you’re like my family, you’re planning a huge cook-out in the backyard.  Weather permitting, the family grill usually receives a lot of love on Labor Day.  Naturally, you’ll need a few things to help prepare that delicious Labor Day meal (besides the hot dogs).

To start, crochet some easy pot holders so you can handle hot dishes and pot handles with ease.  Here’s one of my favorite patterns:

If you’re the lucky enough to be the chef for the big day, you can’t go wrong with this patriotic apron.  Once Labor Day passes, save the apron for next year or for the Fourth of July!

Now that you’ve got your apron, you need the proper grilling tools.  These Beaded Barbeque Skewers are perfect for a Labor Day celebration.  They not only look festive, but they’ll also help keep your shish kabobs together.  Yummy!

For the Yard/House

No matter if your celebration is taking place indoors or outside on a patio, it’s nice to have some lights up for decoration.  These lights are super easy to make and turn any room or yard into the perfect party space.

Celebrate!

Now, the most important step – have fun!  What are you doing to celebrate Labor Day this year?
