This is the Best 4th of July Decor to DIY

This is a great decoration for inside or outside and super thrifty. You can pick up pool noodles at the dollar store and add some ribbon or garland to them. We'll have these on the front and back porches this year for the 4th of July!

This outdoor garland is perfect since it can withstand the weather. It's made from plastic tablecloths and they are easy to come by in any general or dollar store. We're going to have it on our front gate and around our deck instead of bunting. The bunting is beautiful but it has gotten expensive and it fades so quickly in the Texas sun.

For inside the house we love this tissue paper garland. You can find tissue paper in lots of prints and it's easy to twist into tassle's and make into a cute garland for our fireplace.

We always use paper straws as decor but we're not such huge fans of drinking with them. They are cute but they seem to get soggy pretty quick. This is a great craft for using some of our collection. We're going to embellish this wreath with stars and hang it on the front door.

Of course we always find amazing projects at a few sites and The House that Lars Built never disappoints. Since we've been concentrating so much on macrame and weaving recently we thought this was a fun project to work on for this years decor. It has a nice americana feel to it and it's certainly right up our alley! This isn't going to be a quick cut and paste type project so we'll post an update when we get it done!

This is a great black and white print that you can download and frame.
You can print it on colored paper or leave it as is and it will make a great addition to your festive decor. We're going to add it into the guest bathroom so that we have a touch of the holiday without going overboard in a small space.

Another, more colorful printable for you. You can easily use this outside (as shown) or inside for your decor. We're planning to frame this print and add it to our table decorations - or the mantle, or both. Why not?

You can purchase a burlap pillow cover and use it as your base for this project. Then just tape and paint will give you a great throw pillow for your indoor decor.

Another quick and easy project, burlap, tape and paint and you can make a runner for your table or even go small and make placemats.

Here's a great craft to get the kids working on while you're setting up for a party. All you need is some pretty paper cut into circles and they can form flowers for your centerpiece.

Just some tissue paper and scissors and you've got yourself some great decor here. Bring in all those festive colors and create your own fireworks. These look great on the wall for a photo backdrop, or scattered about the tables for some bright decor.

We seem to have quite a collection of these tiny flags that we wave at the parade every year. Then we put them in a flower pot and then we pack them up for the next year. This is a great idea to upcycle them into a new craft, and the perfect decor for our fireworks party.

Who doesn't have a collection of red solo cups? We'll have to make a special trip to buy the blue ones but we've always got the red ones on hand. These streamers are going to look great hanging in the trees this year.
