Five ways to reuse for the 4th of July

I know that I typically give ideas of ways to reuse one item but in celebration of Independence Day, I thought that I'd do things in reverse. Today I'm supplying you with five ways to reuse items for today's celebrations.

  1. Festive napkin rings can be made with paper towel rolls and paint.
  2. Paper and pushpins make patriotic pinwheels. [Hooray for alliteration.]
  3. Wire hangers can be bent into star shapes and used for holiday bubble wands.
  4. Toilet paper rolls can turn into utensil and and napkin holders.
  5. Your very own patriotic windsock (who DOESN'T want a windsock?) can be created from an oatmeal container, construction paper and crepe paper.
Have a crafty Fourth of July!
