i made & wore: the 4th

we opted for music in the park with friends &  it was hot – not too hot to have a styled picnic table though.

i ran to michael’s for cute plates and platters and made the super easy utensil, napkin, straw holders.

 

easy steps

 

directions:

you’ll need: a ball jar, 3 ribbons/material, hot glue gun

1. grab a base ribbon or material, it should be the widest – i used burlap, which i love to style

2. wrap it around the jar and then hit it with the glue gun to secure the wrap – now build from that base

3. next grab the thinner piece of material/ribbon – wrap it around & hit it with the glue gun to secure

4. last step – repeat the process again with your thinnest piece of ribbon/material

obviously, i used blue and white for the 4th, but i recently did this for a friend’s pool party; just vary the colors and material/ribbon.
