that i've shared here at homewardFOUND since 2012

my newest patriotic decor creation (which happened quite by accident!):

Sweet Sweater Pops! LOL

they morphed from Sweet Sweater Sandbabies into this
when i remembered that we had popcorn containers in our party stash.
and then i was creating the post about them, and thought up THIS one:

Sweet Sweater Scoops!

i guess i'm missing both Disneyland AND baseball season this year.

and i might be hungry.

my most popular patriotic post: red, white & blue water

Left: another idea for 'decorating' your water: balloon water bottle labels

Right: a truly 'fast, cheap & easy'TM red, white & blue table centerpiece

Left: a fun patriotic front door decor to welcome guests
(you could do this on your gate, to welcome guests into the backyard

for a 'socially distanced' gathering!)
Right: easy nautical flag accents 

next up, pull out the games... and then decorate with them!

Left: game board placemats for your table
Right: use red, white & blue poker chips as decor

a flag made from scrap wood

 simple bandana banner

Left: see how easy it is to create welcoming front porch decor 

Right: turn a vintage bottle and some patriotic sheet music into wall art

Left: more red, white & blue decor inspiration

Right: and if you have enough time, you could do something really BIG...

red, white, & blue painted furniture makeover

i hope these ideas will inspire your own decorating,
bringing bright, happy, beachy, all-American style to your home
for all to enjoy on these long, hot summer days!

Happy Fourth of July!
