12 Patriotic Projects to Celebrate the 4th of July

 Hope the week hasn’t been too hot for you. It’s a scorcher around here. Hopefully it will cool off a bit by the Fourth. Don’t you just love it when the Fourth falls on a Saturday? That’s what I call a, true, holiday weekend! We haven’t even made plans yet but I’m so excited!

For the past month or so I’ve scouring Pinterest for fun and interesting projects to share. Here’s a round up of my favorite patriotic themed projects for you to enjoy. Surely I’ll find time to put one or two together. Fingers crossed!
