What do you think about doing something with old Suitcases, I see these all the time at the Crazy Goodwill (I will help hunt if you decide on these)

I have been trying to find something to do with those 8 stars that were donated (we will only need to buy 2), Callie and I were talking about doing 3 boards behind it to make a cool decoration these pictures are to help inspire us. This will be a low cost Project.

Lindsi’s Past Projects

Here are a couple of my completed projects of the past.

Here is my banner and flag. Thanks Lisa!

~Carrie~

Here you go! Now we need everyone elses....

~Amy~

Here are my finished projects. Great job Lisa! Now I just need to figure out where to put my window, and I think I need to get one of those big stars to set next to it too...

Patriotic Craft

I would love to do a 'patriotic' craft next time around.

I found this banner on Etsy. Yes we've done banners but I think this is different and adorable. It could also be cute with sparkly stars instead of flags?

This is an old window with the flag painted onto the glass. Pretty simple. The stars are painted on the front side along with one set of stripes, everything else on the back. Does that make sense?

What are your ideas?
