Since Memorial Day is right around the corner, there are patriotic decorations everywhere.  I found these at the Dollar Tree & I can’t wait to use them in a tablescape!

Here’s what I found:

The plastic star shaped plates are sturdier than I thought they would be.  They should be able to hold hamburgers, hot dogs, and corn on the cob.  Because they’re plastic, you don’t have to worry about potato salad & coleslaw leaking through.

Then I found these star shaped foil paper plates.  Perfect compliment to the plastic star plates.

And the best part is that they fit inside the plastic star shaped plates.

I also found these battery operated star shaped candles.

They come in red, silver & blue and have a metallic finish to them.  Perfect compliment to the star shaped foil paper plates!

We all need a little candlelight in our lives, don’t we?

And while I was there, I grabbed up some of their rose bushes.  The reason that I like the ones from the Dollar Tree is that the rose heads are a bit smaller than at other stores.  I find them easier to work them into centerpieces & inexpensive enough to play with them when crafting.

I think the next tablescape is going to be fun to create using all of the things that I found.

So, if you’re looking for some fun, inexpensive Memorial Day decorations, the Dollar Tree is the place to go.

Happy Creating everyone!
