Fourth of July Round-Up

 

 

Are you looking for last-minute patriotic inspiration?  I have rounded up five fun, festive projects to brighten up your Fourth!

 

American Flag Map Décor from Mad in Crafts

 

I made this decoration for my baker’s rack last year when the map trend was still HUGE.  I still like the Americana feel of the piece combined with the subtle peek of map.

 

Pottery Barn Flag Knock-Off from The Country Chic Cottage

 

For a larger-scale, more permanent flag project, you must check out this PB knock-off from Angie at The Country Chic Cottage.  I love its weathered look!

 

Patriotic Shrink Plastic Centerpiece from The Silly Pearl

 

Stephanie from The Silly Pearl made this adorable patriotic centerpiece with her even more adorable twin girls.  Shrink plastic is such a fun project to do with kids, but it’s even better when it results in a project you love to display.

 

Red, White, and Blue Popcorn from Claire’s Creations

 

I made a few batches of this popcorn treat for my 30th birthday party last year.  It is so easy to make, and kids love it!

 

Festive Confetti Launchers from Disney Family Fun

 

I haven’t tried this project out yet, but I bet it would be a hit with the youngsters and the not-so-youngsters alike.  The Fourth of July just calls for confetti!
