Decorating the home for an event can take many forms. But when you are dealing with a national occasion, like the 4th of July, there is a color scheme you must respect. To make up for diversity, we suggest you try and make some of these wreaths for the front door, windows or inside doors. Choose the best DIY wreath customized for the Independence Day festivities which suits you best. You can opt for the simple burlap with red and blue colors or bring your kids in to help you with the felt and yarn 4th of July wreath. Another simple yet fun to make wreath is the paper cone one. Go creative with pages of old books in order to give your residence an intellectual or vintage aspect to the decorations. Add a feminine touch with some red and white flowers. Feel the handmade vibe by using clothespins or pieces of scrapbooks in your personalized wreath. Either way you go with the decoration, put your imagination to work and make some creative DIY wreath for adorning your home in a beautiful way for this year’s 4th of July.

Making use of old pieces of clothes is a tricky job, even for DIY practitioners. There is a limit on how many teddy bears and stuffed little Santas you can fashion. In the often cases you ended up with a bunch of mis-matched socks, you could make one cute snake. To manufacture this creative and colorful stuffed reptile doll, you must follow the instructions below:

• get about 10 clean socks (for a decent size snake, but you can work with whatever size you want);
• thread and needle;
• a pair of scissors;
• a 5-inch piece of red ribbon;
• buttons;
• stuffing (from/for pillows);
• sewing machine;

The first thing to do is choosing the socks which have almost the same width. Group them into different size stacks if the width varies. Check the link below for all instructions…
