>> Jen: WELCOME BACK TO "SA
LIVE."
WE'RE RINGING IN THE NEW WEEK BY
CELEBRATING THE FOURTH OF JULY.
HALEY WITH DESIGN IMPROVISED IS
HERE.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOME CUTE
THINGS.
AND OF COURSE INEXPENSIVE WITH A
BIG IMPACT.
I LOVE THAT.
>> ALL OF THESE YOU HAVE PLENTY
OF TIME TO MAKE BETWEEN NOW AND
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
AND GET YOUR KIDS INVOLVED,
BECAUSE THESE ARE REALLY SIMPLE.
I HAVE THREE THINGS TO SHOW YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO START WITH SOME
REALLY FUN WIND SOCKS THAT YOU
CAN HANG FROM YOUR FRONT PORCH,
PATIO.
>> Jen: FROM THE GORGEOUS
WINDOW.
>> AND THEY WILL BLOW IN THE
BREEZE AND KIDS WILL LOVE THAT
AND IT WILL ADD A NICE PATRIOTIC
FLAIR TO THE OUTSIDE.
THESE ARE REALLY EASY TO MAKE.
WE CAN STA WITH THOSE.
ALL OF IT ENTAILS STUFF YOU CAN
FIND AT ANY CRAFT OR PARTY
STORE, EVEN H-E-B.
THEY CARRY THESE PAINT CANS IN
THEIR PARTY AISLE.
I SAW THIS THIS WEEK.
YOU START WITH THIS AS A BASE.
TO MAKE THE FLOW IN THE BREEZE,
YOU'RE ACTUALLY USING PLASTIC
TABLE CLOTHS.
THESE ARE A DOLLAR APIECE FROM
THE DOLLAR STORE.
YOU JUST CUT THEM INTO STRIPS.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT,
ABOUT AN INCH WIDE.
USE BLUE AND RED.
WHITE AS WELL.
ADD A BEAD OF GLUE.
WE'RE USING HOT GLUE T MAKE
THEM STICK QUICKLY, BUT YOU
COULD ALSO USE TACKY GLUE FOR
THE KIDS.
JUST TAKE THEM AND PRESS THEM
IN.
JUST WORK YOUR WAY AROUND LIKE
THAT.
ADD SOME MORE GLUE TOO IF YOU
NEED IT.
JUST CIRCLE AROUND THE EDGE
THERE.
ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THAT, YOU CAN
ADD AS MANY AS YOU WANT.
I WENT ALL AROUND THE EDGE.
>> Jen: YOU CAN ADD
STICKERS --
>> YOU DECORATE, YEAH.
>> Jen: THAT'S THE FUN PART.
>> THESE ARE NICE THICK FOAM
STICKERS FROM ORIENTAL TRADING.
I KNOW HOBBY LOBBY HAS THESE AS
WELL.
THE HOT GLUE MAKES IT STICK
RIGHT AWAY.
>> Jen: THESE ARE EVERYWHERE.
>> YOU CAN TURN IT AROUND AND
SEE HOW ALREADY IT'S FILLING UP.
>> Jen: IT REMINDS ME OF THE
JELLY FISH.
>> PEEL OFF THE STICKERS AND
STICK THEM ON.
>> Jen: ON YOUR BLOG, I WAS ON
THERE THIS MORNING AND I COULD
HAVE BEEN ON THERE ALL DAY.
>> THANKS.
>> Jen: YOU DO SO MANY OTHER
THINGS.
>> I DO HOME DECOR PROJECTS.
I LOVE DECORATING THE HOME WITH
THINGS THAT I HAVE MADE.
DON'T NEED MORE THAN A HOT GLUE
GUN OR CRAFT PAINT TO DO A LOT
OF THE STUFF I DO.
I LOVE KIDS CRAFTS BECAUSE I
HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS, 5 AND 7.
THAT KEEPS ME BUSY.
THAT'S ONE OF MY DAUGHTER'S LAST
SUMMER.
LOTS OF FUN SUMMER PROJECTS.
I HAVE EVERYTHING ORGANIZED ON
THE BLOG BY HOLIDAY AND SEASON.
YEAH, LOVE PLAYING AROUND WITH
BALLOONS.
THAT'S A FUN ONE FOR ME.
I HAVE A WHOLE PAGE ON BALLOON
IDEAS IN CASE YOU HAVE A PARTY
COMING UP.
>> Jen: VERY SIMPLE AND
CREATIVE.
KEEP WORKING ON THAT.
>> AND FOR A LITTLE EXTRA FLAIR
I FOUND SOME INEXPENSIVE GARLAND
AND I JUST TWISTED IT AROUND THE
HANDLE.
ADD SOME MORE STRANDS AND YOU'RE
GOOD TO GO.
SUPER FUN FOR THE KIDS TOO.
SO THE NEXT ONE I WANT TO SHOW
YOU IS MY BOUQUET.
ALL OF THIS IS JUST FRENCH PAPER
ROLLED UP ON A DOWEL TO MAKE IT
LOOK LIKE FIREWORKS EXPLODING IN
THE SKY.
>> Jen: AND FOR THE LITTLE
ONES SCARED OF THOSE SPARKLERS.
>> THEY COULD HAVE THOSE IN
THEIR HAND FOR THE FOURTH OF
JULY TO CELEBRATE.
IT'S A PIECE OF CARDSTOCK.
I FRINGED IT WITH A FRINGIER.
YOU CAN ALSO USE SCISSORS.
IT'S GOING DOWN MOST OF THE WAY
OF THE PAPER.
I CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT WHILE YOU
ROLL THESE UP.
TO MAKE ONE OF THESE YOU'RE
GOING TO DO TWO DIFFERENT
COLORS, LAY IT ON TOP OF EACH
OTHER, ROLL IT UP TIGHTLY AND
WE'LL SECURE IT WITH GLUE.
THIS IS MY PAPER FRINGIER.
>> Jen: I NEED ONE OF THOSE.
>> IT'S FUN.
THIS IS A MARTHA STEWART PAPER
FRINGIER.
MICHAEL'S WOULD CARRY THIS OR
ONLINE.
IF YOU HAV A CRICKUT, YOU COULD
DO THIS EVEN FASTER.
IF YOU HAVE OLDER KIDS, THIS IS
SOMETHING KIDS COULD HAVE FUN
DOING AS WELL.
IT DOES HAVE SOME SHARP BLADES
ON THE INSIDE SO YOU WANT TO BE
CAREFUL ABOUT THAT.
>> Jen: AND WE WOULD GLUE
THIS.
I KNOW WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF
TIME.
>> GLUE IT TO THE DOWEL AND
STICK IT IN YOUR BOUQUET.
THAT'S LIKE A FIVE-MINUTE CRAFT.
>> Jen: AND, AGAIN, DOLLAR
STORE ITEMS.
>> PINWHEELS, TRIM THEM OFF THE
BASE AND HOT GLUE THEM ON A FOAM
WREATH FORM I WRAPPED WITH A
RIBBON AND PUT IT ON YOUR FRONT
DOOR.
