Make It Monday.... 4th of July

We had a lot of fun making red,  white, and blue projects today.

1st we made red jello.

Then we made daddy breakfast casseroles... not part of our red, white, and blue projects. :)

Next, we made firework shirts... we combined a few ideas from Pinterest.  We found $3 shirts at Walmart, some cute star material, and blue and red puff paint.  We were going to use pipe cleaners, but discovered bendy straws work better for the fireworks and are less messy!

I put a piece of cardboard under the front of their shirts, and tied two bendy straws together with a ponytail holder which made them easier to use.

We did 1 color and let it dry before doing the next color.

While waiting on our first color to dry we made firework rings from this site...

Fantastic Fun and Learning.

click on it to see their directions... we didn't need to modify at all

 

 

TaDa  They are cuter in person, and the girls Love them!

Then we went back to our shirts to add our second color.

 

While waiting for them to dry, we made blue jello to pour on top of our red.

 

Our finished projects!!  I tied a bow on the shoulders and can't wait for them to dry.  The girls are so proud of their creations.  We stuck a flag in our red and blue jello, and made red star ice cubes for our blue Gatorade.  We are Very patriotic!!

 

Are you ready for Independence Day?
