Creating Patriotic Headbands
Turn up the patriotism with some sparkly Independence Day headbands!
Here is what you need to make headbands. Red, white, and blue cardstock or construction paper, a glue stick, scissors, and sequins or glitter.
- Cut out three strips of paper in red, white, and blue (or whatever colors you prefer). The strips should be long enough to fit around your child’s head.
- Glue the strips together to form a single headband.
- Decorate the headband with sequins or glitter, making sure to leave some of each color visible.
- Once the glue has dried, you can adjust the size of the headband by carefully cutting off any extra length.
- Now your child is ready to show their American spirit in style!
Tie-Dye Shirts for the Fourth of July
Let your children show off their American pride with some fun and colorful tie-dye shirts!
You will need white T-shirts, and fabric dye in red, white, and blue (or other colors of your choice). You will also need rubber bands or string, buckets or bowls for the dye, and gloves.
- Place the T-shirt on a flat surface and gather the fabric into bunches.
- Secure each bunch with rubber bands or string to create a tie-dye pattern.
- Place the T-shirt into a bucket of dye and let it soak for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the T-shirt from the dye and rinse in cold water until the water runs clear.
- Remove the rubber bands and let the shirt air dry.
Now your kids are ready to show off their tie-dye craft on Independence Day!
