Fourth of July Patriotic Decorations

Two-tier dessert trays are a fast and easy way to embellish any holiday party. For the 4th of July, place cupcakes on the bottom tiers and novelty flags along with desserts on the top.

Create an all-American centerpiece for your 4th of July table. You can pull together this patriotic decoration in a jiff. Just fill an open chest or basket with decorative green grass, baseballs, and red and blue croquet balls. Top it off with a fewAmerican flags.

You can't go wrong with good old fashioned patriotic bunting.  Hang it outside the house or around a table.  You can also use it as a patriotic table runner.

Create a patriotic wreath for your Independence Day celebration. To make this festive wreath wrap a plastic foam wreath with red ribbon, securing with crafts glue or pins if necessary. Insert mini flags around the wreath. Loop a piece of ribbon through the top of the wreath for hanging, and tie the ribbon ends in a bow. Using crafts glue, adhere a decorative-paper star to the ribbon hanger so it hangs in the center of the wreath. Ta da...super easy!
