4th of July Creative Endeavor

I spotted these coin rolls a while back & purchased them thinking

they were quirky for other uses than just "rolling coins"

Wal-mart carries bags of each coin increment so you can choose the

colors you like best. I love the red 1 cent & blue 5 cent.

They are cheap, a dollar or two a bag for many rolls in each.

{Let's make a 4th of July garland}

I then used my cute cupcake liners purchased from

specialty online bake supply shops. These are

pink/cream & red/cream.

I found 1" grosgrain ribbon in my stash and tied a knot on

one end leaving an ample length to string my goodies.

I flattened out the cupcake liners, poked a hole in the middle and put three liners together:

red, pink, red liners

next, red coin roll,

then pink, red, pink liners

then strung a blue coin roll & so on.

Keep stringing until you have desired length.

I haven't finished a complete garland yet so I

decided Mrs. dress form needed a quirky collar.

Why not? She looks festive for any party this 4th.
The coin rolls almost look "fire cracker-ish"!

Happy 4th of July dear friends.

What are your plans this coming weekend?
