It seems that you cannot decorate for any holiday without mason jars, but especially our outdoor holidays. They're great containers for plastic utensils, tea lights and centerpieces. The key is dressing them up to go with your celebration.
So when it comes to Memorial Day, Flag Day and the Fourth of July, add some colorful stars with red and white baker's twine and you're ready to party like it's 1776.
Note: One of the awesome benefits of crafting with a 3D pen is the ease in which you can add lettering to your projects.
Have you ever been to a party where the silverware is set out with the part you put in your mouth sticking up. How many people have touched what's going in your mouth? At the same time it's difficult to know which utensil is in the container if it isn't arranged that way. What's a host to do?
For this project we labeled the stars so that design meets function and equals hygiene.
Problem solved forever.
