Throw a 4th of July Party! Easy DIY Decorations and Free Printables

So you’ve decided to have yourself a little party to celebrate the freedom we enjoy in this great country we live in? You’ve invited all your peeps, you’ve planned your menu, (no? here’s some ideas: Red, White and Blue 4th of July Easy Party Food), and bought the booze for your drinks (Red, White and Blue 4th of July Party Drinks with Free Flag Printables). Now lets get things looking festive!

Always, always, always, everything we do is quick, easy and requires very little moolah. If a project starts becoming too detailed, we move on (thank you ADD), but we want the end result of a quick project to look damn near perfect (thank you OCD).

We’ve found some easy DIY projects and free printables that are basically foolproof, and will have you looking like you do event planning as a profession! Just click the images for instructions or downloads. These people have some great ideas, so go ahead and spend a little time kickin’ around their sites for inspiration.

Dollar Store Patriotic Wreath

Here’s one I threw together for our front door. Dollar Store: 2-pack ribbons and a grapevine wreath. I hung it over our existing porch bell. Five minutes and $2. Let freedom ring, ya’ll! That’s how we roll!

NOTE: To recreate this look inexpensively, we saw a tip to use wrapping paper for the long table runner. Maybe sprinkle some paper cut-out stars around the table?
