Tomorrow, June 14th, is Flag Day in the USA,
a holiday commemorating the adoption of the stars and stripes flag
representing our country on June 14, 1777
I decided to create a tiered tray for Flag Day
This is a small, 2 tier tray and it’s a great size for a centerpiece
As I shopped my house for red, white & blue,
I discovered quickly that the things I had were very few!
We are always on the coast for the summer holidays,
but I did have a flag banner, a red and white towel,
and a flag bandana
A trip to Hobby Lobby was a red white and blue bonanza!
They had a large selection of tray sized decor
and I also picked up star chargers and flag paper plates
The one thing that I really wanted, small flags, I forgot to get…
but I solved that quickly by finding free flag images,
and putting them on a printable page with PicMonkey
Then I printed them on card stock and cut them out
I made a printable so you could have some too!

The star place card holders are usually used at Christmas time,
but they are perfect for holding the paper flags at each place
I put paper flags on the tiered tray too
I brought out Bloody Mary glasses for the table
because they are painted with big red tomatoes,
perfect for summer!
You can see a tutorial for painting tomatoes here
I also added a couple of containers to the centerpiece
for faux red & white flowers and stems I had
The swirly white stems look festive
and remind me of a firecracker shooting up in the air 🧨
Hooray for the USA!
