Lauren Conrad’s July 4th Pie Looks ALMOST Too Pretty to Eat

Lauren Conrad’s July 4th Pie Looks ALMOST Too Pretty to Eat

The Fourth of July may not be until tomorrow, but celebs like Lauren Conrad are already getting a head start on the red, white and blue festivities — check out the insanely awesome summer pie she made in honor of America’s birthday. Others, like Rachel Zoe, are taking a time out from the stress of everyday life just a few days early with a rad handmade animal masks, while Chris Hemsworth and Hilary Duff are busy marveling at the creativity of those around them. Check out all of their — and their loved ones’ — epic creations this week with our celeb DIY roundup below!


1. Lauren Conrad: Our DIY queen (and Brit + Co guest editor) takes the cake — make that pie —this week for best in baking with this epic (and oh-so-festive!) Fourth-of-July-themed berry pie with star cutouts. Lucky for us, we can recreate her masterpiece (or at least give it our best go), as it’s in her book, Celebrate ($17). Doubly lucky is the fact that LC’s sharing some of her party secrets early, writing, “Let the Fourth of July prep begin! I love making pies to serve at big parties, because they can be made and frozen ahead of time!” Genius!

2. Isla Fisher: Isla just joined Instagram a little over a month ago, and she’s already schooling us on some seriously colorful cake creations, especially in honor of Pride. “I cooked a cake for some gay men with small hands this weekend,” she jokes, adding, “#gaypride.”

3. Tiffani Thiessen: Tiffani Thiessen is teaching daughter Harper the importance of a nutritious and organic meal, plucking fresh cherry tomatoes from her garden. “Summer harvest with Harper,” she wrote, along with the hashtags “#feedthefamily” and “#homegrown.”

4. Chris Hemsworth: Daddy Chris Hemsworth shares this masterpiece of an art piece with a pretty wild background. “My daughter painted this and said ‘It’s you dad. Last night you were a girl and the dinosaurs were alive and that’s you holding your toy. And then the dinosaurs died and you turned into a boy in my dream last night.’ #epic #amazing. #kidsrule.” Whoa. That’s some dream, indeed!

5. Katie Holmes: If there was any ever doubt that Ms. Katie Holmes has some serious painting chops, one only needs to check out this stellar creation she posted this week. With a fan commenting that Katie had been in his shop earlier in the week to pick up some art supplies, we’d say she put them to *mighty* good use.

6. Rachel Zoe: Mommy Rachel Zoe knows the best way to relax is with some therapeutic (kid-friendly!) DIY-ing, as she’s proving with this epic post of what appears to be matching homemade dinosaur masks. “Sometimes when you have a hard day at work, you need to come home and do this,” she wrote. Hear, hear!

7. Joelle Fletcher: The Bachelorette showed off this doodle-filled masterpiece, and echoed its sweet sentiments in her post. Hmmm. Could this be meant for a special (soon-to-be-chosen) someone, Jojo? And might we have a hint?

8. Hilary Duff: Hilary Duff couldn’t help but take to Instagram to show off this masterpiece her friend created in her honor, writing, “This is what happens when you have cool friends like @cassady_benson, they make sketches for you!” We’d definitely hang that in our living room!
