Spaghetti Flag Craft

 

Welcome to week 20 of our Sunday’s Best Linkup. We are all so happy to have you all back again this week. We had some great entries last week & are excited to see what great new posts that you have to share with us this week.

Since Memorial Day is coming up, we did a few quick & easy patriotic crafts using spaghetti.

Spaghetti Flag

For our flag we just broke up pieces of spaghetti to form a flag. We used a pasta shell as the top of the flagpole. We glued it to a sheet of paper, let it dry & painted it in red, white & blue.

Welcome to Week 20 of  Mother 2 Mother’s Sunday’s Best Linkup.  Our theme this month is May Flowers. It’s the month to plant gardens and flowers, open pools, fire up backyard grills, makeover outdoor spaces, and turn the kids loose in the yard. In addition, we would like activities for kids inside and outside, recipes, crafts, DIY, home makeover and gardening tips, SEO and blogging information, sewing projects, patio and deck makeovers, backyard projects, front porch makeovers, spring organization tips, and ideas for indoor flower arrangements.  
 
 
 
We would like to also honor our fallen soldiers this week, so we’re looking for posts on Memorial Day projects or remembrance.  
Blow the dust off your old posts and link those too. They’re great for inspiration. Don’t have posts that fit into the theme, link up whatever post you would like to share. We would love to have parenting tips, DIY projects, homesteading, homeschooling, and your posts on family and life. Your linkups and giveaways are welcome here too. Anything goes, as long as it’s family friendly and you may linkup as many posts as you would like.
