DIY Wonder Woman Bracelets

 DIY Wonder Woman Bracelets Oriental Trading sent me the supplies for this post. ..affiliate links in post. Wonder Woman is awesome!

Patriotic String Art Star Craft Lightning!

 Patriotic String Art Star! Need a fun Fourth of July decoration that you can make super fast...? This is it.  Great older kids craft too. This is part of Craft Lightning Patriotic Crafts!  This project only took me 15 minutes.  I had all the supplies on hand.  It only took me seconds to gather them all and get set up.  This craft might take you a bit longer, but it's not complicated. ~ You will need: Hammer and nails (I used carpet tacks because I have a bunch) Twine 3/4 inch thick board, 6 X 8 inches Paper, scissors and pencil  I used the paper and scissors to cut a wonky star shape.  I love the uneven shape because then you aren't so concerned about every little part being straight.  Asymmetry is awesome.  Use the paper star as a pattern.  Place it on the wood board and draw little dots around the star to show where to place the nails.  Each nail should be about 3/4 to 1 inch apart.  Then us...
