Fast and Festive Accents for the Fourth of July

With three rolls of Crepe paper (one each in red, white, and blue), and double sided tape , you can quickly transform simple straight sided household glasses and glass containers into patriotic accents: luminaries, flag holders, vases, or cutlery containers. Bold stripes by day, add votive candles for glowing color at night

Oh,..., and you will have enough left over to lay out the fun table runner,... lickety split.
Here's how to make the containers:
Gather any straight sided glass vases, glasses, or
containers. Run two strips of double sided tape, side by side, down the back of the container from top to bottom..Cut crepe paper to the exact circumference of the vessel. Wrap the cut pieces around the vessel tightly securing with the double sided tape. Tip: pull crepe paper tight around vessel, humidity will make paper buckle.

Here's how to make the table runner:
Cover your table with a white tablecloth.
Down the center of the table run five long stripes of red crepe paper, the length of the table plus a few inches on each end to hang over.
Use double stick tape under ends to hold in place.

Weave lengths of blue paper thru the red in the center. Cut ends to hang over table edge. Use tape under edges to hold.

  4. Kinmen is the last place where the two engaged in major fighting, in 1958 at the height of the Cold War, and where memories of war are burned into minds decades later - large model soldiers point guns

  5. But in Kinmen, less than an hour by plane from Taipei and directly facing the high rises of Xiamen, there is no sense of panic nor restrictions on visiting from Taiwan, but only a feeling of surprise over questions about whether it is advisable to come.

  6. "We are a very safe place. Whether economically or on people's lives we have not felt any impact from cross-strait tensions," Ting Chien-kang, who runs the Kinmen government's tourism department, told Reuters outside a ruined house briefly occupied by Communist troops in an abortive invasion of the island

  8. Still, those shells could and often did kill people, and terrified residents - a memory that haunts older Kinmeners.
