Patriotic Garland

This decorative paper garland is a great way to make your mantel or railing pop with patriotic pride! Select a handful of star-themed cardstock, along with red, white, and blue craft paper, and fold it accordion-style. You then fan out the paper to create miniature ‘fireworks’ which can be stringed together in a fun display! To learn more, click here!

Confetti-Filled Fireworks

This is a great solution for households that can’t set off fireworks, or for families with young children who may not be ready. All you have to do is get some jumbo straws (the type used for smoothies or bubble tea) and seal one of the ends with glue. Pour confetti into the other end of the straw and top it off with card stock decorations with gold confetti attached. Click here for more information.

American Flag Vases

Have a bunch of mason jars sitting around at home? This is a creative way to put them to use and let your kids have some fun with painting! Create the perfect centerpiece by painting flag and patriotic patterns on the jars, then filling them with fresh white flowers. Place them on a tray or in the center of the table and admire your masterpiece!
