Red, White, and Blue Ideas: Celebrating July 4th

Here in the US, we will be celebrating July 4th(Independence Day) on Thursday. I can’t believe how quickly June went by! Do you add a splash of red, white, and blue around your home to celebrate July 4th? I don’t usually do much red, white, and blue decorating inside, but I try to incorporate splashes of these colours outdoors. Here are some looks/ideas that might inspire you…


I think I’ll try this; using flags to wrap water bottles. Of course,  it’s not a good idea to use paper flags since they wouldn’t be durable. However, there are so many adhesive options available, it would be super easy to wrap fabric flags around these bottles. I usually get my small flags from the dollar store!

Places like Hobby Lobby, Michaels,  and AC Moore are great places to buy inexpensive letters and get your patriotism on with some paint

the cutest porch ever courtesy of that adorable pup! well, the patriotic décor is really lovely too…

get crafty by adding red, white,  and blue craft paper to candle holders, etc. on your July 4th table setting.

Patriotic bean bag toss! Great way to repurpose those metal cans with the use of some acrylic paint!

One can still be patriotic on the water. love!

If you’re celebrating July 4th, have you decorated? Do you plan on decorating with some red, white, and blue? I hope everyone had a superb weekend! For the past few weeks, we’ve been having daily thunderstorms; seriously depressing! I hope this week will be sunny and dry. Blessings and Happy Monday everyone! XX
