I can’t believe the Fourth of July is next week! Are you up to anything fun? My sister Becca who lives in Manhattan is coming into town to visit us. Fourth of July in San Francisco is kind of lame. It’s cold, windy, and the fireworks are often lost in the fog. I think we are going to head up to Point Reyes or Stinson Beach for some little adventures since Henry also has the week off school and Jared will be traveling.

I made these Fourth of July napkins last week to get into a summery mood. Are you decorating or entertaining for the Fourth?

Keep reading to see instructions on making these napkins yourself!

For the striped napkins, I lay strips of tape across a natural fabric. Then I applied red fabric paint and let dry. I ripped off the tape which revealed the red stripes beneath!

I used this cute mini star stamp and white ink to create the star design on the second napkin. I’ve been loving stars lately, can’t wait to use this little guy more! I then hemmed and cut the napkins to my desired size.
