It’s week #2 of the Spectacular Summer Blog Hop! Every Monday and Thursday all summer long I’m collaborating with a group of creative bloggers to share summer-inspired recipes, crafts, decor and more! Today’s featured blogger is Victoria from Dazzle While Frazzled. Isn’t that a great name for a blog? I’m always frazzled!
Victoria’s sharing how to make a thrifty and easy patriotic banner.

Meet Victoria!
Victoria is a Canadian mom now living in Arizona, who loves making thrifty and unique crafts. Let’s hear from her:
What’s your favorite flower?
My favorite flowers are Gerbera Daisies. They were the flowers I had in my wedding. On a less sentimental note, I love Hydrangeas as they remind me of the west coast.
Did you love or hate school when you were a kid?
I have never balked at going to school. However, I truly loved school when I got into graduate school. I think I loved the freedom!
DIY Patriotic Banner from Dazzle While Frazzled
I’m always on the hunt for easy and cheap ways to decorate my mantel for each season, so I love Victoria’s tutorial for a DIY patriotic banner! It’s a great way to add some red, white, and blue to your mantel to celebrate Independence day. The main supply for the banner is paper goody bags – so smart! You’ll never guess what the bows are made from. Please head on over to Victoria’s blog to find out!
While you’re there, be sure to check out her genius idea for a vertical planter!
