Here's a unique idea for 4th of July fun! Students (or you, your family, guests....) will paint simple skewers with red, blue, and white designs. Then paint or roll tissue paper around a paper towel roll for your holder. Two small pieces of patterned red fabric are secured with a rubber band at each end. Have fun!
