Kids will love making these trousers from recycled cardboard tubes and filling them with treats to celebrate a patriotic holiday.
I used Jacquard paints and cardstock to create this ridiculously simple table favors. Instructions for these and other fun patriotic kids crafts can be found in the August 2011 edition of Crafts n Things, on sale soon at newstands.

This is so cute! I'm wondering if the trouser legs are big enough for wine bottles?
