I played around with some paper crafting today and with Independence Day just around the corner, I was feeling patriotic.  That’s a perfect combination when you have stars and stripes in your paper stash!

My youngest son decided a couple of weeks ago to makeover his room.  He chose the paint colors and wall decor which inadvertently morphed into an American theme.  I’ll show more of his room later when it is totally complete.

Of course, I had to get involved.  Fortunately my involvement was welcomed.  His desk has no drawers and his pens and pencils were just lying here and there so what’s a crafty mom to do? Make patriotic pencil cups, of course!  This project was simple and I actually took photos of the process. Perhaps I’ll even try to make my first ever tutorial out of it! Stay tuned!
