Karins Kottage Happenings
I’ve been having a blast crafting for the 4th! My daughter and I created the cutest puffy USA fabric banner that you can make in an afternoon—it adds so much personality to your holiday decor!
🎀 DIY USA Banner Tutorial
I also whipped up some hot glued American flags and decoupaged mason jars with star napkins that turned out adorable. They’re all over my porch and make such cute centerpieces!

I am loving looking at the features you shared this week. For the first time in I can’t even remember I don’t have to work the 4th outside of my home, so I can actually enjoy it.
