I love patriotic decorating. I always get a rush from seeing the Red, White & Blue. I also love the Dollar Tree. Combine those two things & I’m in my happy place. The hardest part of this project is stringing the needle.

Patriotic Tablescape
Happy 4th of July everyone!
The 4th of July always inspires me. I love what it stands for. And putting together a tablescape to celebrate our nation’s independence is always a joy for me.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.
Pringles Can Centerpiece
The 4th of July is almost here & I needed a new centerpiece to celebrate. I wanted to use what I had on hand to make it, so I started with 3 Pringles Cans. These were the basic pieces for my centerpiece.
Here’s how I made it.
Patriotic Wreath
It’s the last week of June & the 4th of July is right around the corner. I needed a new patriotic wreath to welcome in the holiday.
This is how it turned out & I’ll show you how I made it.
Independence Day Tablescape
Happy Independence Day Everyone!
Today is the 4th of July! A day to celebrate, and since I love to decorate for the holidays, today was no exception.
Uncle Sam Figurine-make it your own
I found this little guy at Michaels, on a clearance for only $2.99! He was so cute, but as you know by now, I can’t leave well enough alone. I always have to make it ‘my own’.
Patriotic Napkin Rings
I’ve been searching for wooden napkin rings for months. Why wooden? Because I can customize them with paint to make them ‘mine’. Store bought ones are okay, but when I get a project in my head, nothing else will do. (I like to have my napkin rings match my tablescapes.)
This was so easy to do, and here’s how I did it:
Patriotic Decorated Candles
I had a lot of fun with this one. I’ve been playing with decorations for the 4th of July, and the thought of decorated candles come naturally to me. (I guess it’s because I love the look and feel of candlelight).
As usual, it’s an incredibly easy project to do.
Patriotic Wreath – tutorial
I’m still having a ball working on decorations for the 4th of July! The table is almost ready to be set, the decorative pieces are done for a vignette or two. But the door was naked!
It needed a wreath.
Here’s how I made it:
Adding Glitter to Wooden Letters – tutorial
By now, you know how much I love the sparkle of glitter. Adding glitter to ‘things’ is easy. I’ve seen glittered letters selling for a small fortune, ($7 – $10 each) and it’s so inexpensive to do it yourself.
I’m still immersed in the patriotic theme, so I wanted to make some letters sparkle for another project that I’m working on. Here’s what I’m up to today!
