Three cheers for the red, white, blue and handmade. Or is that four cheers.

Three cheers for the red, white, blue and handmade. Or is that four cheers.

Call me sappy but I love the idea of getting all festive for the Fourth of July. And I really love the idea of doing it in a way that doesn't involve my children blowing something up.
So sign me up for giant watermelon slices, sparklers on the cupcakes, and this sweet handmade July 4 fabric garland from Sparkle Power. As far as 4th of July decorations go, I just love the combination of pretty fabrics, and how the dots, flowers and plaids stay with the traditional flag palate, but make everything just a little more modern and fresh.

Unlike crepe paper and balloons, you can use your garland again every year. I like to think of eco-mindfulness as my patriotic duty. -Liz
