DIY Patriotic Craft Idea

You are going to love how this patriotic home decor looks in your home.

Total Time 30

Wrap a small clay pot in tissue paper and adhere with Mod Podge. I used two sheets of tissue paper on my pot. I am using a polka dot tissue paper but plain colors would work as well.
Insert foam ball into clay pot. Press down to get an indention on your ball.
Use a serrated knife to cut the ball along that line.
Your ball will now fit into your pot. Press it down well and use hot glue if it needs to be secured.
Then wrap some short dowel rods with washi tape.
Insert washi covered dowels into ball in three different locations.
Add some ribbon randomly onto your ball with hot glue. We are going to cover this entire area with buttons in a few minutes. The ribbon is only for those areas that may be visible in between the buttons. I also wrapped the upper portion of my pot with some blue embroidery thread.
To make the fabric flowers, apply fabric to both sides of the Phoomph sheet then cut into a rough circle. You can also apply stiff interfacing to two pieces of fabric then glue them together back to back. You just want to make sure the flowers stand up and the fabric doesn't fray when cut.
Cut that circle into a spiral as shown.
Starting in the middle use hot glue to form your spiral into a flower. Add buttons to the center of each flower.
Add lots of buttons around your pot with hot glue.
Use additional hot glue to add your flowers to the tops of your dowels. Then add this project to your home decor for summer. You will love how it looks!
