{Friday Freebie} Celebrate Memorial Day

While we're enjoying our barbecue and family this weekend, let's also remember what our brave soldiers and troops have sacrificed for this country.  I'll be doing that by adding these festive Patriotic toppers to my party items!

You can use these tags to enhance your event space.  Create sandwich and cupcake toppers by adhering tags or punched circles to lollipop or wooden sticks.  Create fun medallions by adding punched circles to small paper rosettes or simply cut out the square tag, punch a small hole in the upper corner, string and add to any favor bag or hostess gift. 

The PDF is available for download here.  I hope you enjoy using these decorative embellishments to create a festive setting your holiday festivities this weekend!
