Happy
4th of July! I saw these fun little stars in the
Dollar Spot in Target.
Bins like this are great to find some alterable items. They often have
inexpensive wooden or MDF board items that you can simple scuff up and
glue your favorite papers to.
Today
I used the
Liberty Collection. I wanted to make sure that these
simple stars popped, so thematically had them represent the colors of
our flag: red, white and blue.
Each
star has been taken apart to have the back of the metal covered on two (
Liberty One, Four),
and left plain on one. The red and blue stars also have been covered
with patterned papers in mostly red (
Liberty Seven) and mostly blue (
Liberty Six) respectively.
The
rosette in the center of each was made simply with a score board and
some hot glue. These were meant to be smaller, so they are cut at 1.5"
wide x 12" long, and each rosette has two strips glued edge to edge,
then scored at .5". For the rosettes, I used
Liberty Two and
Four.
I
used some pretty old chipboard letters for this project, as they were
the best match for this. The stark white stands out against the
patterned paper of
Liberty One.
As a set, this small project holds some pretty big impact. Thanks for looking, and hope that you have a great holiday weekend!
