How to Make a Liberty Banner Perfect for the 4th of July
Decorate for the 4th of July with this cute DIY paper “Liberty” banner. Find out how to make one with our free tutorial!
Do you guys decorate your home for the 4th of July? If you do, what are some of your favorite decorations? I went to pull out my 4th July decorations and realized I only have 2! Since we are usually out of town in July, I have not ever decorated much for the 4th.
I have decided in recent years that I want to create more 4th of July crafts so that I can have cute decorations in my home for the fourth. Some of my favorite projects include a “God Bless America” sign, Chenille Star-Banner & these fun Star Spangled Balloons.
Since I want to add to my collection of Patriotic decor, I went through my stash of scrapbooking and craft supplies and pulled together this banner. I know the 4th is tomorrow, but better late than never, and I plan on leaving it up until the end of July!
