July 4th Photo Prop Crafts
While these are two separate July 4th photo props crafts, they use the same list of supplies. You will need paper straws, glitter paper in red and blue, cardstock in white, glue, and scissors. You may also want a star paper punch.
Patriotic Photo Props Craft Supplies Needed
- Mustache Template
- Patriotic paper straws
- Glitter paper – red, blue
- White cardstock
- Glue stick
- Scissors
July 4th Mustache Craft
Begin by printing the mustache template on white cardstock and cut out.
Trace the mustache on a sheet of red glitter cardstock and cut out.
Do the same to make a mustache on blue glitter cardstock. Cut the blue mustache in half.
Glue the blue half onto one half of the red mustache, so the mustache is half blue and half red.
Next, use a star paper punch or cut small stars from white cardstock and add it to the blue side.
Lastly, attach two paper straws on both sides to finish your prop.
4th of July Glasses Craft
Begin with 2 patriotic paper straws.
Press each paper straw flat then fold in a circle. Glue the ends together to secure. You can use glue dots if needed, or hot glue.
Now, cut two small strips from a blue paper straw.
Glue one blue straw piece connecting the circles in front, and one blue straw piece connecting in back, too.
Next, add a full paper straw to the side of the glasses.
Lastly, cut triangles from red glitter paper.
Glue the triangles to the top of the circles to finish your photo prop.
