I wanted to give you some ideas to celebrate and decorate your home!
My young friend came over yesterday...summer vacation...she made one of these herself. So they are pretty easy to make, just hope I explain it well.
For this project you will need Scrapbook pages in patriotic colors. You start by cutting the paper in half. Take one half and start at the widths end, and fold under and fold back over like you're making a fan.

When your finished it will look like this
Then you fold it in half again, and press down on the folded part really hard with your fingers to strengthen that fold. Be sure the ends line up with each other and glue the ends together. You can use Aleenes tacky glue or hot glue.
Then I decided a star would be perfect in the middle
Added glitter around the edges!
I'm helping Mariah with this bigger one....
This one is bigger. What I did was cut the blue scrap paper in half again, make the folds on both, then glue them together. You glue them just in the middle, making a bigger fan. Then you do the same with a contrasting paper. Then you glue the blue to the red on both sides. Then add stars. Mariah ended up putting glitter in the folds and on the stars.
She is so very sweet, we have so much fun together creating! You can put these on a skewer, popsicle stick or punch a small hole and hang!
