4th of July is Thursday and in honor of celebrating the birth of our country I decided to decorate some shorts!! This is pretty simple so I will give you the steps !!
1. Grab a pair of old jeans or go to a thrift store and a find a pair to chop up!
2. Cut the jeans to your desired length
3. Get a flag from the dollar store
4. Trace with a pen, onto the flag how you want the flag to end up on the shorts!
5. use fabric or hot glue to seal the flag down
6. roll the bottom of the shorts to your desired length & wahlaaaaaah you have your 4th of July shorts !
I am so grateful to be able to celebrate with my friends this year. The past few years I have had work or school so I am ready for some independence day festives, but I also want to take the time leading up to the 4th to remember what the fourth of July is all about. It is about our country gaining it's independence, as well as being able to stay independent. This year, government budgets that support shooting fireworks to celebrate, over certain military bases have been cut & some of our soldiers will not be seeing fireworks at their base this year. Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base & Fort Bragg Army base are included in this. Even though fireworks are just for fun, they symbolize a huge part of our history, here in America. I will be thinking of these men on the Fourth & thank them for all that they do.
