Hi y'all! ❤️ You *know* I love celebrating the 4th of July, so I'm here today with a little bit of patriotic tabletop decor! I got this star bucket forever ago (I think it was from the $1 spot at Target) and decided it would make a great napkin keeper with a little dangly circular tag to embellish it. It's just a few circles layered together with some embellishments and it hangs from the bucket handle via a slot/circle (Crop-a-dile + scissors) that slides into place.
Two-sided designer paper makes this project super easy and even more fun! I used Spellbinders circle dies to cut a few printed layers and a mat to go between them, then embellished them with stamps and tag dies. The 4 and the july tag are both Tim Holtz dies. The month stamp uses a click together alphabet stamp set from a big box store. This cute little flag star is from our American Eagle bundle.
I stamped, colored and fussy-cut one star, then die-cut two more (unstamped) from gold metallic card stock. I scored all three across the horizontal arms of the stars and stamped a sentiment onto one of the gold layers. I adhered the fussy cut layer to a gold layer, then adhered the top triangles of the gold layers together with the "celebrate" sentiment showing on the inside, and finally glued the back of the star onto the circular card underneath.
Here is a view from the back, where you can get a peek at the benefit of the two-sided papers and those cute printed sentiments that are part of the paper pack. You can also see the back of the bucket which is really a luminaria with a cut-out for a tea light. I filled mine with bandana-napkins whose patriotic colors are peeking through the star shaped opening.
