Get ready for 4th of July! It's time to start decorating, well at least decorating this cute, little cottage! I love this little cottage and the decorating possibilities are endless, so I chose to go Patriotic! Wouldn't this be cute to add to the food table to maybe hold rolled up napkins and plastic ware?

Instructions
- Cut 5 banners. One of the banners, cut 2 of the "swags" off and attach a piece to 2 of the other banners to make them longer. These longer banners are hanging in the front on the house. The other 2 are on the side.
- I used Clear Window Sheets for my windows and "sandwiched" them in-between the paper and cardstock. I wanted my house to have "real" windows. This also helps to keep anything from poking out the windows if you fill this up with goodies!

Design Tips
- I embossed the roof tiles with my Cuttlebug to add a little more dimension.
- I inked a lot of the edges with either blue or a deep red ink. I love the look of inking!
- For the bows, I just tied tiny bows and hot glued them to the ends of the banners.
- Add little gems to give it some sparkle!
