On with the craft projects. As the 4th of July is a celebration of America’s birthday, many people in the country tend to splurge on star spangled decorations. In this picture alone, you have American flags, American flag decorations, and figures of Uncle Sam. Yet, while plenty of party stores and retail outlets are happy to sell patriotic paraphernalia, some people take it a bit further by making their own. Yes, red, white and blue are the dominant colors. And some of these often depict stars and stripes like you see on the American flag. Of course, many of these might violate the US Flag Code but it’s not that anyone pays attention to it anyone unless someone burns a flag in public protest. But that’s talking about an earlier post I did years ago. Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I give you another treasure trove of 4th of July craft projects for your home and yard.
- To mark the 4th, perhaps you might want to go with this.
It’s a wooden 4 that’s blue with white stars. Helps someone used a red and white string to tie it for emphasis.
2. In a more rustic setting, a red berry wreath with a star will do.
But don’t forget topping it with a blue ribbon. Otherwise, someone might mistake it for a Christmas wreath.
3. Nothing brings out one’s love of country like this 4th of July tree.
Yes, I know they do these trees for every holiday now. But at least it’s red, white, and blue.
4. A burlap patriotic wreath brings a homespun American touch.
Includes wooden letters “USA” and red, white, and blue stars. Love the navy blue bow, too.
5. Sometimes all you need is a simple white wreath.
Though be sure to include a red and white striped background and a navy blue ribbon with white stars. And the display should be in a white wooden frame.
6. The stars and stripes should be painted on a large wooden panel.
Because nothing emphasizes America than a flag painted on aged wood. Great for any American home.
7. Welcome guests on the 4th of July with this red, white, and blue deco mesh wreath.
Sure the colors seem to run together. But you have to admire the navy blue ribbon and stars.
8. Or perhaps you prefer a wreath of ribbons.
This one uses several consisting of stripes and stars configurations. Like how the stars give it charm.
9. You can’t set your table at a 4th of July barbecue without burlap cutlery bags with the flag.
Because it’s likely that you might need something to keep the cutlery from blowing off the table. Still, like the painted flag.
10. No American couch should be without this patriotic pillow.
Consists of a red and white striped pillow with a navy blue bow of white stars. Great for any American furniture piece but the dining room table.
11. Welcome your guests this 4th of July by hanging this star spangled wreath.
Like how it has red, white, and blue stars hanging from blue ribbons. Not sure what the wreath material is though.
12. For 4th of July and fun in the sun, may I suggest this star-spangled flip flop wreath?
Though keep in mind that, “flip flop” describes the sandals not senators. Has red flowers and blue sunglasses in the center.
13. A wreath wrapped in a flag can look quite stunning in a window frame.
Though the window frame is much to be desired. But it makes a fine outdoor decoration regardless.
14. If you’re not a fan of wreaths, you might want to try a star.
Well, it’s a rustic 5 pointed star with an American flag and pussy willows tied in a ribbon. Love it.
15. How about an American flag wreath with paper roses?
Well, dried roses anyway. But I know dried roses when I see them. Still, this is quite lovely.
16. A deco mesh wreath should always contain an Uncle Sam hat.
Helps if the deco mesh is lined with silver and the hat is shiny. Great to put on any American door.
17. If you want to use organic materials, this patriotic pine cone wreath is for you.
Well, if you live near an evergreen forest, then the pinecones should be easy to find. If not, there’s always the craft stores. But this wreath is simply stunning.
18. Even flag stands should have stars and stripes on them.
After all, flags need something to stand on besides the ground. Yet, you can always fit a star or 2 on the blue.
19. A 4th of July wreath should always have stars and stripe ribbons.
Though you can also add lace as a finishing touch. Also like the white lace. Very classy.
20. Wooden stars on sticks always belong in a flower pot bouquet.
Includes some red, white, and blue stars as well as a large American flag one. Love it.
21. Celebrate your love for America with these wooden blocks spelling the US of A.
Consists of a blue U, a red S, and an American flag decorated A. Bet the A stands for America and therefore, has to be the fanciest.
22. On this panel, it’s “God Bless America.”
And it’s all painted in the classic red, white, and blue. Great for any American house or porch.
23. No woman should be in the kitchen without this star spangled apron.
I had a few of these aprons on last year’s craft post. But this one mostly consists of navy blue with white stars.
24. Any all-American house should have a set of all-American firecrackers.
Okay, these are made from wood and don’t actually explode. But they all have star spangled designs you can’t resist.
25. How about a star-spangled address block to mark your house?
This one uses tiles of red, white, and blue to give a stars and stripes look. Wonderful for any American garden.
26. Nothing expresses the American spirit like a star spangled wreath of tulle.
Unlike the tulle wreath in last year’s post, it has more stars and more stripes. Also like how it looks on the door.
27. Celebrate the 4th of July in your home with these star-spangled shutters.
Well, they’re recycled shutters. But they’re both painted with stripes and a unique star design on top.
28. Red, white, and blue stars should always stick together.
So you have to tie these up with a burlap and rag ribbon. Still, I’m sure they’re all different sizes.
29. How about a wreath with more stripes and a few stars?
Not sure if the blue on here consists of feathers. But it’s rather an interesting design to have on your door.
30. As we all know, liberty is what Americans hold most sacred.
It even lights up and has an American flag. Yet, the panel of “Liberty” outshines all.
31. Hope you’re fine with 2 flags in one basket.
This one has some berries in it as well. Like the stars on it. So quaint.
32. Perhaps a wall hanging of stars with rag stripes will do.
Well, the stars aren’t in a neat in tidy shape. But they don’t necessarily have to be. After all, it’s the motifs that count.
33. Now your kids can enjoy their 4th of July with star studded chalk.
Available in only red, white, and blue. Because those are the colors of the American flag.
34. Curl up on the couch this 4th of July with this star spangled pillow.
This one has the blue star pattern as star on a striped background. Looks best next to the one with the bow.
35. 1776 should always be enshrined on a berry branch wreath.
Of course, the year itself should be framed amongst a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Just for good measure.
36. A red, white, and blue wreath of yarn is just as nice.
But the wreath appears purple because the strands appear so intertwined. Still, like the red, white, and blue flowers.
37. Care to honor America with flowers?
And as you see, the flowers are red. But you have to adore the fancy ribbons and stars.
38. Step out of your home this 4th of July with a pair of patriotic tennis shoes.
Though the shoes don’t really seem to match. But they have the same stars and stripe patterns if only in different places.
39. Let freedom ring with this American flag wind chime.
It’s mostly made of metal with a small plate of stars. But it’ll sure let freedom sing with the wind.
40. Make your 4th of July barbecue guests feel welcome with this burlap wreath.
This one uses a rather simple design with one star tied to the side. But I’m sure many will want this on their door.
41. These wooden firecrackers can use a few stars on them.
Well, at least the red and blue ones. The white one just gets nothing. Even has a tag saying, “USA.”
42. For a table centerpiece, place some flowers in some star spangled bricks.
This looks easy, assuming that the flowers are fake. Comes with a single blue brick with a white star.
43. Grace your home with this old-fashioned American flag dress display.
Keep in mind, this is a dress meant for decoration. Not for wearing. Still, like the golden stars and flag.
44. Perhaps a flower wreath should come with stars and ribbons.
Well, it may not look like the flower wreath I had on my craft post last year. But it certainly evokes 4th of July fun.
45. Nothing makes your 4th of July worthwhile than a red, white, and blue birdhouse.
Helps if it has a place to put your flower pots. Each birdhouse comes with a stand of the same red, white, and blue configuration.
46. Light up your 4th of July with these mason jar candle holders.
These consist of mason jars filled with different colors of art sand. And each one is tied with a red and white striped bow.
47. Want your fireworks to sparkle and shine? Get some red, white, and blue sequins.
Well, sequin discs you use in craft projects in art class. Still, you can make plenty of patterns with them on these wooden firecrackers.
48. Get yourself clean the American way with some stars and stripes soap.
Okay, most Americans use regular soap. But this is a 4th of July post. So American themed soap is shown here.
49. If you don’t have stars, buttons will do fine.
Well, buttons are just as good as stars for a wreath like this. Kind of gives this rag wreath a certain character.
50. A stars and stripes flower pot is great for a 4th of July bouquet.
Even if they have to consist of red, white, and blue carnations. Yet, it also includes shiny stars for patriotic emphasis.
51. If you love “America the Beautiful,” then you’ll like this wooden panel.
Though to be fair, the song was written by a lesbian who had a partner for 25 years. Bet they didn’t teach you that in history class.
52. If you don’t like wreath, then show your American pride with this American flag star.
Even has some patriotic ribbons to go along with it. Kind of has a whimsical shape to it.
53. Got any corks? Make a flag from them to hang.
I suppose most of these come from a craft store. Or at least I hope they come from one. Still, like the silver stars on it.
54. Nothing says you’re love for America than a shadowbox of paper flowers.
Well, paper flowers configured into an American flag, of course. Sure it has 9 stars but it’s the impression that counts.
55. This dresser is a must have for any American woman.
This one has an American flag painted on it. Hope whoever made this can get used to it all year round.
56. As you can see, this only sings the song of liberty.
Yes, it’s another patriotic wind chime. But it has the blue and stars on top.
57. There’s nothing more patriotic than an American flag made from shotgun shells.
Well, according to some NRA members. But as someone who doesn’t like guns, I beg to differ.
58. With this chair, you can find the Star-Spangled Banner at your seat.
Though many might view sitting on the American flag as desecration. Yet, most Americans would probably buy this anyway.
59. Never thought I’d see a metal flag before.
It’s even on a wavy metal sheet to resemble the American flag flying freely. Great to hang in any American home.
60. You’d almost think the flag was waving in this frame.
It’s actually an old shutter painted as the American flag. But you probably wouldn’t notice that.
61. Perhaps a 4th of July bandanna wreath would suit you.
Though keep in mind, bandanas often have some bad connotations to them since they’ve been banned by school dress codes. Still, you have to admire the stars on this.
62. Cinder block planters always shine in red, white, and blue.
Though they’re also heavy to lift as well. Might want to stick to wood or plastic instead.
63. Sometimes a simple decoration can say it best.
This is just a simple white yarn wreath with blue stars and American flag bows. So simple yet so lovely.
64. Every American couch should have a stars and stripes pillow.
Didn’t know they had a red pattern with white stars. Still, I’ve seen similar ones with different configurations.
65. Celebrate your 4th of July with some American flag china.
These may not be actual crafts. But they’ll sure be perfect for your Independence Day barbecue.
66. May this patriotic mason jar be a beacon of liberty in your home.
It even has a light to illuminate your party during the fireworks. Doesn’t seem quite hard to make.
67. This glass apothecary jar is filled with some of the finest American kidney beans.
As to how they managed to find red, white, and blue ones is a mystery to me. Oh, wait, they used black ones for the blue.

Well, that’s a cute little dress. And it’s sure to make any girl a star-spangled darling.

71. Perhaps you might want to stick a bunch of flags in one basket.
Well, you see a lot of American flag displays like this one. But I’m not sure if that’s overdoing it.

Well, it may not look like the flag. But it’s in red, white, and blue just the same.

This one uses shiny pears as stars. Nevertheless, I adore it and wonder if it lights up.
77. By painting an American flag, you can turn a crate into a planter.
Just has a few stripes and 9 stars. But as long as it resembles a flag, I’ll take it.
78. Wooden firecrackers should always come with wooden stars.
Each of these has red white and blue to show for it. Yes, I’ve shown several of these but they’re popular 4th of July decorations.
79. A pallet doesn’t always have to resemble an American flag.
But as long as it has the basic stars and stripes, it can work. Wouldn’t mind hanging this on my wall.

One has stripes. One has stars. And one has both stars and stripes. But all have rope wicks.

This one has shiny stuff coming out of it and patriotic bows. And all on a red wood platform.

Well, simpler than some of the other wreaths with flowers. Love the navy blue bow.
99. This American flag quilt is a real patchwork.

100. Drape your American couch with this quality 4th of July quilt.
This is a quality quilt that seemed to win a prize. Anyway, it has an eagle with flag shield. Love it.
The Lone Girl in a Crowd 
#60 is MY picture of the shutter I painted even using my words. It would have nice to have received credit
Where did you find the dry paper roses.
You used them in your project America than a shadowbox of paper flowers. (#54)
I have been looking all over them.
