Patriotic 4th of July Sign
During one of our yard sale trips, we were able to find 2 cabinet doors that were painted and finished with handles. I had originally thought this navy blue one would make a great tray. With the upcoming 4th of July holiday, I changed my mind and thought it would look classy with a nice patriotic saying on it. That is how the idea of the Patriotic 4th of July Sign came to be. We always love finding items that are mostly finished and then adding our own touch to them. what kind of items do you look for at yard sales or thrift stores? Check out the video below…

Old fashioned Denim USA Banner
For some reason I have a ton of old Denim jeans laying around my house. My son is incredibly hard on pants and often tears or splits the seams.

This is where my idea came in to play to create an Old Fashioned Denim USA Banner. To create your own Old fashioned Denim USA Banner you will need: Old Denim Jeans Cuttle bug machine and banner die cut/ or paper…
