Much like the pinwheels I talked about earlier, these parade wands will give your kids the time of their lives. Aren’t these 4th of July decorations that also work as toys for children the best?

I simply fell in love with this garland the moment I saw it. It’s so simple yet so beautiful, don’t you think? The best thing about this is that you can adapt to the style of paper you have lying around your house, it doesn’t necessarily need to be a copy of the one from the photo.

Dessert decor

Fruits are a delicious and healthy way to create decoration.

Make a dessert plate that’s healthy, delicious, and patriotic. Berries are the “it factor of this plate, it’s super simple to put together. You can also decorate other types of food, like:

  • Cakes
  • Cupcakes
  • Cocktails

Food decoration is the best. At least I love it. But if you’re not much of a baker, this fruit tray will be a lifesaver for your last minute party.

Flowers

Red, white, and blue flowers are what you need for this special occasion.

Flowers are the simplest thing ever, you can even find some in the street and pick them up to create a special decoration. Of course, for a time like this, you might prefer to take a small trip to the flower shop. Do an arrangement with red, white, and blue flowers for a patriotic centerpiece.
