4th of July Parade Wands

Independence Day is seriously probably my very favorite holiday. I know that may seem strange, but I love the weather and all of the festivities that come along with the 4th of July. One of my favorite festivities is the parade! I don’t mind waking up early to get a spot and sitting by complete strangers. I love watching the firetrucks, BMX bikers, and high school bands go by. It has always been one of my favorite parts of the entire summer. I thought it would be fun to make some 4th of July parade wands to hold up during the parade to show our patriotism and celebrate!

4th of July parade wands from www.girllovesglam.com #DIY #tutorial #4thofjuly

 I was given a bunch of fabulous glitter products from American Crafts to play with and I knew that parade wands would be the perfect project for this stuff! I love how they turned out and I can’t wait to use them. Here is what you need to make your own…

*Skewers

*Electronic cutter

*Hot glue

4th of July Glitter Decor

 First, I cut out stars using the electronic cutter. I cut out two different sizes of stars. Then I decorated each star a little differently using the stickers and tape.

Then I used hot glue to glue the starts onto the skewers. They were so easy to make! I am so excited for the 4th of July!

Be sure to like American Crafts on Facebook and follow them on Pinterest too!

I was compensated for this post by American Crafts, but all opinions are 100% mine.

    Love these! Aren’t these glitter products the best?! I’m showing off the gold ones tomorrow, but I can’t wait to make more things with them… I kind of have a glitter obsession. 🙂

    Super cute. They will be great at the parade. I loved their glitter products. But then again, it is glitter, what is not to love!

    Love the glitter! Independence Day sounds fun, we don’t have a day like that in New Zealand.

      You really are missing out! It is such a fun holiday. You should come to the states and celebrate the holiday sometime! I bet New Zealand has some great traditions and holidays that we are missing out on over here too!

    These are adorable. I love a good parade and my daughter is starting to get into them too. These look pretty simple, I think I will whip some up for our parade on Thursday. Thank you for sharing.
