Red White and Blue Felt Star No Sew Table Runner | Vicky Barone

Supplies: felt, fabric scissors, and hot glue.

Directions:
1. Cut stars in varying sizes. We free-handed our stars to save time and give them a whimsical look, but you can also print star shapes on paper and trace them onto the felt before cutting.
2. Line up the stars on a table, overlapping the points slightly. When you like the orientation and pattern, add a dot of hot glue to each place where the stars touch.
3. Place your finished table runner across a picnic table, a bar cart, a buffet table, or a mantle! Anywhere you’d like to spice up the decor.

4th of July Star Garland

Independence Day is this Friday! If you’re having a get-together or you’d just like a little patriotic decor, this paper garland adds the perfect touch of red, white, and blue!

Materials:
1. Scrapbook paper. We used red, burgundy, navy blue, royal blue, and a glimmery silver.
2. Stars to trace. We printed a few stars on a piece of paper, cut them out with an X-acto knife, and used both the cut-out stars and the remaining paper as stencils.
3. X-acto knife. You can also trace the stars with a pencil onto the scrapbook paper and then cut them out with scissors.
4. A sewing machine and all-purpose white thread.

Directions:
1. Use a star stencil to trace and cut out stars from the different colored scrapbook paper.
2. Adjust the sewing machine to a loose stitch.
3. Feed the stars one by one into the sewing machine, leaving tails of thread at the ends to hang the garland (If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can use clear tape or even patterned washi tape to attach the stars to a piece of string).
4. Hang up your garland and enjoy!
