INKLING: PATRIOTIC BERRY CUPS

Easy Patriotic Berry Cups via homework02Today in the United States, it’s Memorial Day – a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. And while we honor and remember these brave men and women, the long weekend also signifies the unofficial start to summer and backyard gatherings.




Easy Patriotic Berry Cups via homework03With Memorial Day, Flag Day and The Fourth of July all packed into a few months, there’s plenty of opportunity to gather together with friends and family.

Easy Patriotic Berry Cups via homework07This patriotic line from American Crafts has all the little touches to jazz up your summer celebration. For the cups, I used a strip of scrapbook paper to create a collar or roll for the plastic cup to sit in. Store the berries in the fridge and when you’re ready to set them out, just plop them into the premade paper rolls. A scalloped punch created the perfect size circle to cover the lid. Chipboard buttons and self stick expressions keep the theme going.
