4th of July Craft Roundup

I have a hard time finding 4th of July decorations that I like. I often feel like patriotic decorations are too over-the-top for my tastes. So during the summer, our house is a little drab. In order to remedy this, I decided to put together a round-up of cute patriotic decorations that appeal to those like me.

Patriotic Paper Flowers from Live Laugh Rowe

Kelly at Live Laugh Rowe provides a great tutorial for crafting these fun and easy flowers. I love the variety of patterns she uses so that they are not just an explosion of stars and stripes.

Patchwork Watering Can from Little Pumpkin Grace

I'm not sure if Jessica at Little Pumpkin Grace made this watering can herself, but I absolutely love it. It looks like it could be a pretty easy mod podge project with either fabric or scrapbook paper.

4th of July Flag from Around and Again

Chelsea at Around and Again created this amazing 4th of July flag and she's nice enough to show us how she did it. It looks like a challenging sewing project to get the state shapes right, but the result looks like it is worth the effort!

Wooden Firecrackers from My Repurposed Life

I love that Gail at My Repurposed Life has combined the patriotic colors and shapes to create decorative wooden fire crackers. The tutorial looks very easy, too!

Liberty Wreath from Hot Commodity Home

Yep, this one is mine! I had a lot of fun putting this together using an extruded foam wreath form, strips of fabric, and wooden shapes. A great front door decoration!

4th of July Jeans from Crafty Lady Lindsay

Lindsay at Crafty Lady Lindsay gives a very nice tutorial on how to transform some old short jeans into fun and festive capris. I adore the ruffled hem!

God Bless America Printable from Landee See Landee Do

Landee definitely got this right! And even though the printable is two years old, it is still so current. I have big plans to print this out and frame it for a fast and easy decoration!
