Celebrate the 4th of July With These Easy DIY Crafts

Fourth of July is one of Ree Drummond's favorite holidays, and we can see why: The 4th of July side dishes, fireworks, and grilling recipes can't be beat. To make all of your 4th of July activities even more special this year, why not add a creative twist with these easy DIY 4th of July crafts? Plan an afternoon or even a whole day to make cute crafts that you’ll put to good use, like flashy beverage stirrers, patriotic soap, and a party tub to hold all those ice cold 4th of July drinks. Some of these projects even get kids in on the action too, like cupcake liner flowers in red, white, and blue, and pretzels that look like tiny flags. Everyone big and small can enjoy getting their hands busy to prepare for this year's celebration.

Make a whole day of it with a patriotic playlist or 4th of July movies for the kiddos to watch as they craft. It'll be a fun way to soak up summer and the holiday. Without further ado, it's time to break out the glitter and glue!
