Ideas for July

I don't really have anything specific that I need/want to do for July. I thought I'd just revisit some ideas that I've been saving on pinterest and throw them out there. Feel free to chuck them all if there's nothing you like. Just trying to get our creative juices going and make some decisions, since I know this is a busy month for many of us.

Embellished T-shirts. Lots of different ways to do this, though here are two of my faves:
The blocks could say "Family" or your last name. Love the blocks for pictures, as we can make whatever number we need for our kids and/or family.
How about a banner of some type? We could make a fall one now. Or a "Happy Birthday" one might be good. I'm not in love with this one, it was just a picture to get us thinking about banners and how cute they could be.

Summer Fun or 4th of July project

I have several ideas for either a summer fun theme or the 4th of july theme.  Does anyone have an opinion on what they would like to do?  Here are a few in each area i would consider doing plus those cute ones that Hattie has posted.

Summer fun:

or for the 4th:
a large flag either wood or out of window/frame
 these are just a few samples
or we could do something like these ideas:

Fun lanterns

another cute summer idea....solar lanterns

A cute summer idea.....

I thought this was a cute summer idea and would keep the pesky mosquitoes away at the same time.

It's time to decide!!!

I, Terra, have decided to let you choose from 3 different crafts for this month.  If you could please let me know by friday that would be great.

i would let you choose this with buttons or washers.

mason jars

May Challenge...do we want to do it as a group?

Every month U create does a challenge and this month they are doing the chicken wire picture frames. I know we looked at doing them this next month as well. I thought it might be fun to do it and send in our pics.  What do you think?

My recent faves

Here are some of my recent favorites that I'd love to consider for craft club night...

Large frame/window chicken wire message boards.

Specimen art... I was thinking maybe stars or hearts or???

I love this welcome sign for the door. And the letters are just clipped in so you can change them out to say "hello" or "welcome" or "spring" or your last name or whatever! The chevrons make this sign though so we'd have to find a chevron stencil.

Monogram or shape artwork. I've seen lots of examples of this using different things (like the washers Hattie posted below). These are two of my favorites.

washer art

I thought this was cute too. You could paint the canvas for a splash of color.

t-shirt fun

How fun would t-shirts like this be to make??? OR we could make rosettes and embellish the shirts with cloth rosettes. I have a sewing machine that I could bring (it is very very basic).
