It’s June already – so what does that mean?\u00a0 4th of July celebrations are approaching quickly!\u00a0 We created a Nautical 4th of July Printable Package<\/a> this year and wanted to show you a simple how-to from the collection.<\/p>\n

(Oh, and did we forget to mention? Our DIY Holiday packages in the shop are now available for INSTANT download!\u00a0 That means you browse, shop, check out and download in one spot.\u00a0 No more waiting <24 hours for us to email you your files!)<\/p>\n

Our big write-up will be released soon, but in the meantime, take a look at this festive collection of printables!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Included in the package<\/a> is an over-sized large red patterned “4” (you can see on the right-hand side)<\/p>\n

We used this “4” printable to create 3-dimensional signage to display on our dessert table.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

You just need a few supplies, and it’s really quite easy to assemble!<\/p>\n

———————————————-<\/p>\n

Supplies needed:<\/p>\n

Nautical 4th of July Printable Package<\/a> (“4″ template printed on photopaper or cardstock – we use photopaper)<\/p>\n

1\/4” thick white foam core board<\/p>\n

Paper glue & hot glue<\/p>\n

Twine<\/p>\n

Utility knife or x-acto knife) and scissors<\/p>\n

————————————————-<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/p>\n

First cut out your printed patterned “4” along edge.\u00a0 (Don’t forget to cut out center of “4” well)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Next glue cut “4” to the white foam core board with paper glue (we use Zip Dry<\/a>\u00a0 – it’s the best!)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Once it is dry, take your utility knife or x-acto knife and cut through the foam core board, along the edges of the patterned “4”.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The next part is a little time consuming, but worth it – heat up your hot glue gun, and glue twine along the edge of the “4”.\u00a0 We wrap the twine around the edge 3 times, to make it pop more. Be careful – glue is hot!!!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Once twine has been edged along the “4”, 3 times, the 3D “4” is complete!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

You can lean this against something on your table… and it’s light enough that you can glue it to a wooden skewer or long lollipop stick and display from vases or containers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We designed another 3D sign “B” for our latest Monogram Baby Shower Collection<\/a>.\u00a0 See the “B” below sticking out of the vase.\u00a0 We used yarn to edge the “B”\u00a0 – which works just as well.<\/p>\n

<\/a>These 3D signs are so inexpensive to make, and give a big impact within your decor.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Stay tuned for our Nautical 4th of July party reveal!<\/p>\n
