Tuesday Tutorial - Patriotic Crafts

With Independence Day coming up, I thought I'd share a few patriotic craft tutorials.



From www.thelongthread.com we have red white and blue cupcake toppers. This tutorial has printables and complete instructions on how to make them.





How about these cute flag t-shirts. Not sure which is more cute, the shirts or the kids modeling them.
Instructions are from www.makeit-loveit.com




This banner is adorable. It's made from paint chips. Love it!! Find out how it's made at www.rebekahgough.blogspot.com





These confetti popper rockets would be a lot of fun for the kids. Instructions can be found at www.alphamom.com


Thank you for joining us today!

Organize - Ideas for Storing Pans

Do your pots and pans need organizing?   Here are some ideas for you.

This first one was found on Martha Stewart.   Take bakeware organizers and attach the bottom to the sides of your cupboards.   You will be able to stack your pans individually.


Wouldn't this be nice for flat baking pans?   A handy husband could add shelves to your existing cabinet.


Lids can get pretty messy,  too.   You can buy lid organizers.   This one from Rubbermaid is pretty reasonable in price.
