Our store was transformed into a Star Spangled Sandwich Shop with help from my standard players: construction paper, tape, and stuff laying around the house.

Pay no attention to the non-staggered stars. Obviously I have never seen a US flag in my 35 years of life, or this detail would've been caught before the glue stick came out. |

Everybody traced a star, and that was the only instruction. Creativity can't flow when there are too many directions. None of us are particularly good at following rules anyway....
Note to customers:
if your kid leaves a hair bow on the table and you never come back for it,

Our lovely manager Carlos is transformed into the Yankee Doodle Dandy he's always dreamt of becoming when he grows up, complete with cotton ball beard.

What we lacked in explosives we made up for in foil.
If you fold it in half and cut strips just like a flower middle it's almost the same as fireworks, especially when taped to the wall surrounding our Lady
That is really cute! How festive!
ReplyDeleteYou need to write a book on how to decorate cheaply, you always do a great job! My Potbelly is just boring!
ReplyDeleteI am totally stealing that denim and check banner idea. That is stinkin' cute! Also, I still think Babraham Lincoln is my favorite, but Uncle Carlos is a close second. I love his little cotton beard ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun bit of decor! Must be a fun place to work, you are always putting something fun up on those walls. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable and I have to let you know that Potbelly is our oldest daughter's favorite restaurant -- for every birthday and special milestone it's her meal request. Except in our house we call it "Belly Pot" since that's what she called it when she was a toddler! : )
ReplyDeleteIf you have a flour sifter, some cardboard and a water bottle you can make some of my sifted flour stars on the sidewalk outside of your restaurant!

This looks fantastic. Poor Carlos, he is always being transformed.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this! We have Canada Day on July 1st and we're not half as festive as Americans. I lived in the US for a while and I really loved all the festivities around the 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteWhat terrific decorations! I bet your customers just love all the efforts you and your team put in the decorations - promise me you'll never stop!
ReplyDeleteYour creativity is impressive. And you crack me up.
ReplyDeleteI totally ♥ what you did Rebecca! Everything turned out SO CUTE, TOTALLY COOL, and VERY CREATIVE!
