Holidays, Ideas for the Independence Day
As summer continues in full swing,
it won’t be long until it’s the 4th of July 🇺🇸
I’ve rounded up some cute ideas that have caught my eye
and some things from the archives
to amp up your celebration!
I love this flag bundt cake with fresh berries from Dash of Sanity
How about an American flag made out of wine corks?
This patriotic decoration is from Creatively Beth

These star cookies by BakerMama are really cute
If there’s no time for baking, here’s a shortcut dessert~
Frost store bought cookies with prepared white icing from a can,
decorate with red and blue sprinkles
and place them in a festive cupcake paper
This idea comes from Big Bear’s Wife

I love these fun firecrackers from Confessions of a Plate Addict
They are made with Pringles potato chip cans!

Make a Patriotic Basket to hang on your front door
I spray painted a basket white, added an initial,
and filled the basket with red mesh, ribbons
and decorative picks from the craft store
Trifles are an easy dessert to assemble
and they make a wow presentation!
Look at this pretty trifle from Chef in Training
Set up a Red, White & Blue Buffet

These firecrackers are easy to paint

Get inexpensive chargers from the craft store
and make them 4th festive!

Make a red, white and blue flower arrangement
I love this one from my friend Pam @ Everyday Living
Make a Patriotic tiered tray
How about a Red, White and Sea Blue boat
for a touch of coastal or lakeside decor

Celebrate the Red, White & Blue!

Thanks Deb! I hope you’re having a great summer!
A cornucopia of wonderful ideas today, Jenna!!
Thanks so much Carole!
I am definitely saving the star cookie idea. Thanks for sharing.
I love those, such a cute idea, thanks Bernadette!
Good morning, Jenna. What a fun and festive round-up of Independence Day ideas. It is hard to believe the holiday is two weeks from today. Thanks so much for the shout-out! Wishing you a wonderful Thursday ❤️🤍💙
You are so welcome, and yes, summer is flying along!
These are all really cute but I never decorate much for the Fourth. (Last year, it was just me! At least Rick is there this year.) But I love yoru good ideas — and heavenn knows, I’ve got corks! I might even have some frozen star cookies (unfrosted yet) from Christmas. I’ll have to dig those out!
Thanks Jeanie, have some red white and blue fun!
As you noted on my post….we think alike and are proud of our country. Your recipes are perfect for this 4th of July celebration as we remember those who fought and died that we may have our freedoms. God Bless America and God Bless our troops.
Thank you Kari, three cheers for the red, white and blue!
Jenna, this post is just “sparkling” with great ideas! I have been in love with the little paper umbrellas since I was a little girl, but then I saw the firecrackers and went wild over them. Too many fun decorations for one holiday!
Thanks Linda, I love those firecrackers too!
Love it all. I need a dessert for the 4th, and the berry cake is a great idea! Thanks Jenna.
It will make such a pretty presentation too!
Nice round-up. These ideas are so cute, and I love your firecrackers 🧨!
Thanks Ricki Jill, I love the firecrackers too! Do they shoot fireworks at the lake?
Jenna, these are some great ideas. Craft projects plus some lovely desserts. I love the patriotic trifle. Happy summer.
Thanks Linda, I think I’ll make a trifle like that for the 4th, a refreshing summer dessert!
Lots oof fun ideas – thanks!
Thank you Patti, three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
The firecracker charger is so cute.
Thank you, I can’t believe the 4th on the horizon, this summer seems to be flying!
What a great roundup of ideas, Jenna! Love that cork flag! Thanks for sharing at Tuesday Turn About. I’m happy to be featuring your post this week!
Thank you so much Julie!
