Day 5 -- Table Centerpiece

My doll table definitely needs a cute centerpiece to bring all this week's craft decorations and snacks together!
I used this tutorial from She Wears Many Hats to make a smaller scale doll sized rice jar!
I put a little rice in two bowls, and dropped some red and blue food coloring in each.IMG_2614
Mix it up with a spoon.

Set it out to dry.
While it is drying, take a thin stick...

Cut a rectangle of paper (I used scrapbooking paper) the size you think would make a great American flag shape when it is folded in half.  The size would depend on the size of your stick.  Fold the rectangle in half.

I cut a smaller rectangle to be the stars part of the flag and glued it onto the stripes.IMG_2619
Place stick inside the fold and glue the wrong sides of the paper flag together.
Once the rice is dry (or semi dry), get a clear doll sized glass, cup or jar.  Put each color of rice into the jar to create red, white and blue layers.

Now you have a patriotic centerpiece for your table!
