We saw this ribbon wreath at a cute little Boutique in Utah and decided we could make it a lot cheaper. All you need is a round foam wreath and then lots and lots of ribbon. You need to cut about 12 inch strips and then just make bows and knots until all the foam is covered! I have one for almost every holiday and I love it!
I made this tissue balls for my daughter's bday party and have fallen in love with them. All you need is tissue paper (about 10 sheets per color) and some wire and fishing line. Lay the tissue on top of eachother and fold accordian style (about 1 inch folds), then wire wrap the center of the tissue and fan it all out. I then string fishing line to hang from the ceiling.
Here are my apothecary jars that I bought at Costco last year and could not live without them. I fill them differently throughout the year. Candy is one of my favorite ways to bring out the holiday colors. Here I used red gumballs, blue gumballs, and sea shells for white!
Here is my adorable son sipping on a "FIRECRACKER FLOAT"My sister saw this in a children's magazine. You buy red colored soda pop, vanilla ice cream, pop rocks candy, and I found these adorable straws at Target. The kids will truly feel like fireworks are going off in their mouths when they eat these!!
Hope you guys enjoyed some of my favorite 4th of July ideas! Have a great 4th and be safe. Thanks, Kristi

I love your decoration in crystal clear jars with gumballs and sea shells. Thought you'd like to know that Gumball.com is a great place to buy gumballs which are perfect for gifts or table decorations. They have twelve different colors with which you can make your holidays more colorful. :)
Love these ideas! I am going to make the drink for the kids...they will love it.
