Here’s a project that takes little effort, but makes a BIG impact.
And it gets bonus points because it can also be used for more than just the 4th of July… you can use it for Christmas as well. Yay!
SUPPLIES: (we kind of switched things up after we took the picture below)
• 5 Yardsticks – we found ours at Walmart in the paint department
• White paint – we used Martha Stewart – color: Wedding Cake
• 5 Silver Thumbtacks
• Wood Glue
• Paint Brush
• Paint your sticks white, let dry
• Arrange the sticks into a Star and use wood glue on the spots that touch
• Push a thumbtack into each of the 5 tips
I can already see it wrapped in pretty clear lights for Christmas!
Looking for more 4th of July recipes and projects…

Love this!! Pinning!!
Very cute! Would look great for Christmas too, agree!
That is really cute and so easy. I have just the spot at Christmas time.
Ooh this is cute!!! I'm totally making one!!!
I really want to make this….do the thumb tacks really secure the ends or is the glue helping a lot because thumb tacks aren't very long.
The thumb tacks are really just for looks. 🙂 The wood glue holds it together well because they're so light.
