Home Decor, Summer Centerpieces

 

With Memorial Day coming up and June just around the corner,

Let’s kick off the summer season with a roundup of centerpiece ideas

 

 

 

 

One of the best parts of summer is the produce

Beautiful tomatoes, watermelons, fresh sweet corn…

Piled on a pretty platter, they make an instant centerpiece!

Summer means lots of patriotic holidays in the USA

Create a festive centerpiece with a vase of white daisies,

red carnations and flags

 

Flip Flops, Firecrackers & Flags

 

 

Or, Fill a clear vase or glass with a red, white and blue bandana

Add red white and blue sprays of stars and flags

 

 

 

 

 

Even if you aren’t an artist you can paint a flag plate

with red stripes, a patch of blue, and white dots for stars

{use paint made for glass for best results}
