Memorial Day - Patriotic Crafts

Welcome to Live to Entertain!

Thank you so much for visiting our community of entertainers - whether you entertain huge groups, your family or just someone you love - your ideas (and most importantly) your images are welcome!  Looking forward to a fun Memorial Day Weekend!

Who said Memorial Day was not a weekend for entertaining? It's not just a BBQ anymore!  Check out some of these great ideas I found and am so excited to try out.


Warning!! A lot of work. The cutouts of the stars alone takes days. But I think the final product is beautiful and a lot of fun!  The details are here.

Don't forget the kids! I love this patriotic wreath - great for their bedroom doors!

This one is easy, requires a lot of cutting but is great to keep those kids busy over a 3 day weekend! Details and how-to are all here!

Don't forget the treats!


Don't be fooled - these are not as easy as they look! My first attempt was a big FAIL - with the liquid leaking out of the bottom of the push pops. My second attempt, sans letting the jello set a bit, was much better, but my advice is to make sure to clean the sides with each layer. Also, a little bit of side advice...a shot glass with a small bottom is PERFECT for push a layer down! (Those shot glasses come in handy so often, for so many reasons!).

More to come! Can't wait to show you my table and other treats to celebrate this 3-day weekend! Please let me know how you are celebrating and what is on your menu!
