I want to wish all of my readers a Happy Fourth of July! In the spirit of red, white, and blue... I've come across a few DiY ideas to make a creative flag using upcycled items. The flag above is made of color coordinated odds and ends, arranged in "stars" and stripes - this is definitely my favorite! Check out the other ideas...
