Independence Day, Patriot Day, Veterans Day, Election Day 08, Pearl Harbor Day in December, plus gone-by Flag Day, Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Presidents Day & others; EVERYDAY should be a flag-waving show of allegiance, showing our love of freedom & the USA.

Using a wide range of dried flowers, native & exotic arrangements we can do creative & fun projects to celebrate each of these holidays.

Using Gypsy Blooms:

-Begin with the 18” grapevine wreaths, adding red/white/ blue Gypsy Blooms at random, twisting loosely a red/silver/blue garland among the blooms

-add a red raffia bow.

-Capturing the patriotic spirit, continue with an easy-to-create doorknob decoration, using red berry branches, bleached white curly willow, blue Hakea , tied together with red raffia, leaving enough to dangle jingle bells from & to hang on the knob.

Creative and Fun Flower Collage:

Prepare yourself for more creative & fun projects with this Flower Collage, using a different method of Home Arts Crafts. A 9”x 12” artist canvas will be needed, molding plaster, palette knife/masking tape/matte mod-podge/ flower printed paper or picture/star flowers.

-Begin by masking-off a centered area 3”x 3 ½” rectangle, 2” from top of canvas (forming a window).

-Mix plaster with water to cake mix consistency; spread over canvas (leaving it rough) (STAY OFF MASKED AREA).

-Press small bunches of star flowers & just the heads at random & different depths in the plaster. Let dry overnight.

-Paint the entire canvas with a thin acrylic wash. Let dry. Remove tape from window. cut paper or picture to fit inside window, apply mod-podge to hold it in place.

-Apply 2 coats of thin-downed mod-podge to entire canvas (use a light touch, as not to rake-off flowers.
