Montgomery News

Independence Day. A day to celebrate a Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, and to enjoy the freedom that our country has given us. So here are some DIY crafts, that range from the youngest kid at heart to those projects that you only dream about on Pinterest. Click on the image to see how you can make these cute and very doable projects.

1. USA String Art

Once you get this one down, you can make any shape. Maybe even have all the strings pointing to your hometown or even a college?

2. DIY Paper Stars

This project is pretty easy. All you need is the 2 sheets of PDF printed on a card-stock like paper, scissors and a hot glue gun. The great things about this link is that the PDF's are free!

3. DIY Americana Fabric Wreath


This one can be a great present, on your adventures to any parties this weekend. All you need is red, white and blue fabric, a wreath form and some stars. All of which are most likely on sale right now.

4. Red, White and Blue Citronella Candles

These candles are not just for Fourth of July, they would work perfectly all summer long. Plus, while your making these you can always add some lavender and get a hint of lavender and citronella while you light these all night long.

5. Letter Time!


The best thing about this project is that there are so many different ways of designing this, that the opportunities are endless!

6. Door Hanger

Calling all painters, this one is for you. With a simple cutout of USA, and some paint you can create a door hanger that will have everyone talking for days.

7. Let's Buoy!

Now, this one might be a little harder to achieve but it can work. Whether you are staying at the beach this weekend, or trying to make an oasis these buoy door hangers make the best addition to any home.

8. There's a flag on a log..

Well, a painted one at least. The biggest issue that you may have is finding a log somewhat flat enough to drill holes for the candles to fit into.

9. Recycled Bottle Centerpiece

Still have some old glass bottles lying around? Great, you'll need them for this idea. With some paint and imagination, you can create the most patriotic thing you can think of.

10. Bandana Tablecloth

This one can be made any time of the year. Bandana's are so easy to come by that even if red, white and blue are not your favorable colors, you can still make this your own.

11. String Lights

Remember those paper mache balls that we used to make when we were little? Well here's a grown up take to it. All it takes is some string, a set of lights and some balloons, and you can add another spark of interest in your current oasis.

12. Popsicle Stick Flag

Here's one for the adult whose truly a kid at heart. Just remember you don't have to eat all these Popsicle's just to get the effect!

13. Silverware Holders

These are probably one of the cooler items, on this list that can you can do. Also, once your done with the silverware these can easily be transformed into a vase or pencil jar.

14. Denim and burlap garland

Scissors, white mini lights, red and white burlap rolls and a denim roll. Yup, that's all you need, once you cut the strips of burlap and knot them you have yourself a denim and burlap garland.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
