Creative and Easy Ideas for Your 4th of July Party

Photo source How's the 4th of July already next week?! 😯 Time sure flies, and there's nothing better than quick and easy DIY crafts, decor and party treats to help us get into the patriotic, festive spirits with style and ease! So here are a few hand-picked Pinterest favorites that have inspired me this week. Hope you too feel inspired for your own red, white and blue celebrations!

DIY Custom Summer Sun Hats

DIY Custom Summer Sun Hats

Summer is upon us, and apart from drinking sangria all day, I'm dreaming about crafting all sorts of fun, colorful and seasonal party accessories, like these custom summer sun hats! Wouldn't they be so cool for a pool or beach party?! I made these for a summer party shoot I styled a few weeks ago (as you probably saw in my Instagram stories ?) and they looked so fab and were so easy to make, that I had to share the DIY tutorial here with you guys!

DIY Paper Flower Cake Toppers

DIY Paper Flower Cake Toppers

Paper anything is my jam. But paper flowers are my particular favorites! I mean, you take a fairly simple, banal, flat piece of paper and fashion it into something 3-D, beautiful and super practical. What's not to love?! And did I mention they're so easy to craft? Yep, despite their intricate looks, they're a cinch to make, and one of those DIYs that even the kids can help with! 

DIY Easter Egg Candles

DIY Easter Egg Candles

When I was fourteen, my school organized a crafts sale, and we had to make all sorts of handmade decor items to sell, including scented candles. We made star-shaped candles, triangular candles, round candles...they smelled sooooo good and I was hooked for life! On candles. Candle-making is one of my favorite crafts ever! You  can see one of the blog's most popular post here , which happens to involve candles , what else?! So today I'm more than a tad excited to share my latest DIY candles with you - Easter Egg candles! 😍

DIY Valentine's Day Crackers Party Favors

DIY Valentine's Day Crackers Party Favors

Whether you're hosting a Valentine's Day party for your gal pals, a romantic dinner date with your other half or a fun party at home for the whole family, these party crackers are sure to bring a little "bang" to your love day event! 😉 It's a British tradition to have crackers at Christmas. They pop with a loud bang when you pull them apart and make for a fun party game! They're also usually filled with party jokes and trinkets inside, so I thought they would make a super fun Valentine's Day party favor!

DIY Ornaments Drink Stirrers

Christmas is a few days away, but you still have time to add a little crafty touch to your party tables and drinks stations! Whether you're hosting a cocktail party or full-on Christmas dinner this holiday season, these ornamental drink stirrers will help jazz up your drinks from now until New Year's Eve! Come to think of it, they'd be a perfect match for our Pomegranate Moscow Mule cocktail we shared yesterday! 😊

Yes, we get to share special moments in the kitchen baking together, but also I get to taste some pretty amazing recipes baked with love by her little hands - Did you see my daughter's cheese scone in my Instagram stories last week? Divine! 😍

Pink & Copper DIY Advent Calendar

Pink & Copper DIY Advent Calendar

December is 'round the corner so it's the perfect time to be thinking about your Advent Calendars!  I always seem to leave it too late, I must confess. But this year, I pulled my crafty stash out last week and made this baby in one afternoon with the help of my little elves 😊 ( Did you see my Instagram stories? ) Seriously, it's the perfect, EASY craft for an afternoon with the kiddos! Plus, it doesn't hurt that it shimmers with all sorts of metallic ornaments and pretty glitter, shiny papers, right?!
