1. Miniature flags: Get a round Styrofoam wreath and stick the miniature flags into the Styrofoam. Hang it on the front door, gate, or in the backyard.
2. Put a white tablecloth on the table. Buy red and blue crepe paper and cut each roll into a number of strands of the same length. Lay the strands on the table, crisscrossed over each other.
3. Try this idea for table centerpieces: Assemble a number of clear glass vases (they can be different sizes and shapes), however many are needed for the table. Buy red, white and blue sand. Layer each color in the vase and top with a small votive red, white or blue candle.
4. One of the simplest table decorations is a red or blue vase stuffed with white flowers such as stock, azalea, peonies, yarrow, magnolia, honeysuckle, roses, carnation or baby’s breath.

I simply love this easy decorating idea which uses red and white striped dish towels and a zip lock bag full of blue hydrangeas. What a fun idea to include the kids in! Have them pick flowers and hang the decorated baggies with fish line or pretty ribbon. Hang on the fence, tree branches or porches!

If you’re looking to decorate an indoor or an outdoor space for the 4th party of get together, Chinese lanterns are a fun and inexpensive way to do it. You can purchase pre-made 4th of July lanterns but you may also paint your own! Choose your own way to paint them in patriotic shades and symbols with acrylic outdoor paint. It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s something the kids can help out with! Make it a family event! The more the merrier

This clever clip board sign is so simple, but such a cute addition to your 4th of July decor.  It simply consists of a plain red clipboard with a festive 4th of July sign clipped to it. Some good uses for this homemade 4th of July decoration include a door hanger, to identify different types of food at the table, to describe the menu of the party food and desert choices available, or to display a copy of the The Star Spangle Banner as part of your table decorations!

When it comes time to decorate for the 4th of July, most people don’t consider all the empty space that is their windows! And while paper stars and other window hangings look great, some of the easiest homemade 4th of July decorations can be done with window paint. You don’t have to be an artist to buy a stencil and paint red, white, and blue stars, American flags, and other patriotic symbols in the windows. And taking them down…. easy! All you need is a wet cloth and you’re done.
