For our 4th of July party this year,
I purchased some red, white, and blue ribbon,
and a few white carnations.
Every thing else was "use what you have" decorating! :-)
I mixed and matched my sets of red and blue napkins
with red and blue tablecloths.
Old milk bottles with flowers and flags were the centerpieces.
A mason jar full of red, white, and blue
glow bracelets decorated the little kids table.
And, I fixed up a table outside for the older kids.
A little metal tub I had
held the plates and bowls
for dessert and ice cream.
And, I used mason jars to hold the
spoons, forks, and knives.
A simple bit of ribbon
turned my fruit basket into
a patriotic napkin holder.
And don't forget that things you use
can become decorations, too!
Like red, white, and blue, cookbooks,
candles,
and aprons!
I hope this gives you some ideas for easy and simple
