Decorating For The Fourth
Of July: Show Your Patriot Pride!
Decorating for the Fourth
of July is really a great and easy way to show your patriotic pride, and with
our nation's colors of red, white, and blue going so well together, it also
couldn't be easier. Whether it's decoration
ideas for a Fourth of July party, or even if you are just looking to give your
home a more patriotic look all year round, here are a few great ideas for
infusing the traditional, or the contemporary American look, into your home!
Denim Blue
Really, what could be more
American than blue jeans? Denim is a
great fabric for decorating for the holiday or all year round, as it is an
inexpensive and durable fabric. You can
create pillow covers using denim with a vintage American flag sewn on, or can
also create placemats with a similar theme.
You could even make napkins using a softer grade of the fabric.
Set The Table
If you are hosting a
Fourth of July party, setting a table for the day can be really simple. Finding red, white, and blue tablecloths,
napkins, and tableware is easy at this time of year; just keep in mind that it
is not a good idea to use the flag itself as a tablecloth or placemats. Instead you could use a red tablecloth with
blue and white placemats. For a
centerpiece, a combination of red and white carnations with little American
flags placed in the arrangement will finish the table off. White plates would look great on this table,
but you may also want to find a set specifically for the day.
Decorate Outdoors!
Independence Day is a
great excuse to get outdoors and celebrate with friends and family. You can decorate your yard for the day by not
only thinking red, white, and blue, but also Americana. Touches like porch swings and hammocks bring
us back to a simpler time. Flowers are a
great way to show your pride, and potted arrangements of red, white, and blue
flowers will look great on any patio.
You can also hang a flag in both your front and back yards, and find
various outdoor decor items that have an American theme.
These are just a few of
the countless ways you can bring your American pride into your home for the
Fourth of July, and keeping the theme going all year can really lend a cozy
feel to your home and yard.
