I love to add touches of red, white and blue to my decor this time a year. Believe it or not, such shades also often find their way into my summertime menu. Here are ten Fabulous and Frugal Fourth of July Ideas.
Fabulous and Frugal Fourth of July Ideas
Welcome to another edition of Ten on the 10th. Each month a group of bloggers creates a project under 10 dollars on the tenth of each month. Our theme for June is “The Fourth of July” and is hosted by Benita of Chasing Quaintness.
Outdoor Decor
Our red, white and blue decor generally begins at the front door. In A Patriotic Porch, I shared how with a few new plants you can bring a bit of happy to your entry.
Have some red, white or blue fabric scraps? Make some bunting to decorate doors, windows, and gates.
Most of us have a basket or two in our decor stash. With a bit of Dollar Store ribbon, flowers and decor you can create fast and easy patriotic door decor.
Festive Home Decor
Stars and Stripes forever napkin rings are a perfect project if you like a nautical themed table.
Other Patriotic Yet Nautical Ideas can be found HERE.
Planning a large gathering? Ten centerpieces were created for my son’s Eagle Scout Ceremony from two grocery store bouquets. Careful dividing and arranging help to keep costs low. The colors work well for any Fourth of July table.
I often use paper printables to add a festive flair. Several amazing ideas are gathered HERE.
Several ideas show how small touches can make a delightful difference in holiday decorating.

They are all great ideas, Laura, but that fabric bunting above your door had just stolen my heart!!
Laura I love all of the great ideas you put together! I LOVE the fabric bunting… I think that it is my favorite!
All great ideas but for me the bunting above your door was the star. Your blueberry drink was pretty too.

Such great ideas, such fun.
Love y our ideas Laura! I really love the blueberry spritzers! The color just adds a little something extra to the table! Hugs!
You festive table with the goodies makes me want to party! I’d have to buy everything but I love the look of your table!!! And how I’d be greeted at the front door. I might have to yank that apron down and steal it one day. Love all of your patriotic ideas Laura. Fantabulous!
What awesome ideas you share here Laura! I love everything you styled. Love the table setting!
Some wonderful ideas.

Hi Laura, thanks for sharing so many great patriotic ideas here; I pinned many of them!!! 🙂 I need to make a new front door hanger (or revamp the one from spring) and love your idea with Uncle Sam on his bicycle.
Happy summer and enjoy your big patriotic roadtrip,
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
Great collection of patriotic decorations for the 4th, Laura. Each one is a super idea on its own. Love how you showed off each one.
Bonsoir,
Bravo pour toute cette belle décoration !
Je suis émerveillée par l’ensemble de vos photos.
Gros bisous
Your decorations look beautiful. Very festive for the fourth!
Beautiful Laura…I agree the bunting above the door is perfect. Blessings
Lots of inspiration here!! I am heading back to click on a few links now!!
That’s the cutest 4th of July bunting I’ve ever seen! And the Uncle Sam just makes the door decoration!
Beautiful and creative ideas!
So many fantastic ideas in one place, Laura! I absolutely love the basket on your door…the Uncle Sam riding a bicycle is darling!
Great ideas. I have an eagle from my eagle scout too. I just love your bunting.
I always enjoy T3n on the Tenth and you have some really fun ones here. (And you’re right about grocery store flowers — you can get a lot of mileage out of them!)
I love your red white and blue pots, so cute!!
Fun ideas!
I love the decor ideas, Laura. The banners are doable for my three thumbs. I wasn’t able to link to the recipes–not sure why. But thank you for a great post!
