INEXPENSIVE WAYS TO DECORATE FOR THE 4TH OF JULY

The best part of 4th Of July crafting is you can use patriotic decor all summer long since Memorial Day, Flag Day and Labor Day all call for red, white and blue.

I think the Fourth of July calls for colorful, easy-to-make and inexpensive projects. Here are some of my favorite budget-friendly ways to decorate for the 4th.

1 FLAGS, FLAGS AND MORE FLAGS

One of the most inexpensive and impactful way to decorate for the 4th of July is by using flags. Put a few in a vase or hang one from a flagpole, they are a simple way to get in lots of red, white and blue while honoring the holiday!

2 RED GERANIUMS

A pot of bright red geraniums set in a container make an instant centerpiece. Or put pots of them on your front porch to make a welcoming entryway.

3 Sparklers

Boxes of sparklers placed in a clear glass jar are an unexpected, fun and very inexpensive way to add some holiday color.

4 VINTAGE POSTCARDS

Tucking old patriotic postcards here and there is probably my favorite way to add to my summer holiday decor. I have vintage patriotic postcards you can download and print out for FREE if you swipe down below.

5 ANYTHING RED, WHITE OR BLUE

And when I say anything, I mean anything. A red toy truck, grandma's white ironstone pitcher, a blue gingham tablecloth. ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING!
