Hail to the red, white, and blue with 60 crafts projects that truly capture the American spirit! From patriotic cards and journals to quick and easy crocheted clothes to painted lamps and windowboxes, every item here gives us the opportunity to express pride in our country. Begin with Waving Stripes Sand Candles that take only minutes to make. The exquisite Mountain Star Flower Wall Quilt can be cut and pieced in a single weekend. Create simple "star spangles" that dangle from your ears on earrings. Cuddle up in a night shirt with the words "by the dawn's early light" written in fabric paint. Plus: a Statue of Liberty Banner, Old Glory Chain, Stars and Stripes Clock, and much, much more. None of the projects require any complex skills, and easy-to-follow templates and inspirational quotations throughout make this a U.S. crafter's delight.
