For something quick, you can use this holiday craft idea for your Fourth of July. Hang a string or a rope by the wall or a wooden fence. Cut off some red, white, blue, and brown ribbons of the same size. Trim the ends so they will look like a lizard’s tongue.

Tie those ribbons around the hanging string or the rope. Put the orders appropriately for the American flag décor, which is red, white, and blue. The brown can go in between the trio.

4. The Red, White, and Blue Lanterns

There is a cultural assimilation that you can do here. Although lanterns are normally used to celebrate Chinese New Year, you can get creative with the same stuff. Have some red, white, and blue lanterns as part of your Fourth of July outdoor decoration.

You can hang these lanterns under a red umbrella. They will light up your night as you sit to watch the fireworks in the sky.

5. The Wooden Firecrackers/Dynamites

The Independence Day of The United States is not complete without fireworks. No worries, these ones are safe. In fact, they do not explode at all.

For this holiday craft, use logs or some wood railings for this. Trim the edges so they become wooden bars. For the red and blue painted ones, paint the writing white. Paint the writing in red or blue, for the white painted bars.

For the fuse, use a white rope cut in an appropriate length. Create a hole in the top of the bar. Put one rope end in and glue it securely.

What to do:

  2. Brush the mod podge (on a thin line) around the burlap’s edge to keep it stiff.
  3. Cut out the stars (big and small) from the pattern print. They will become the outlines on your bandanas before you cut the fabric with that shape.
  4. If the stars are creased, iron them.
  5. Once the stars and white ribbons are ready, arrange them on the burlap. Position them in any way you like before you glue them to the burlap. Once the glue dries, your table runner is ready to use.

For this holiday craft, all you need are mason jars and candles with the appropriate size. Make sure the candles are not too big for the mason jars. You will also need some small American flags for the decoration.

Wash the mason jars clean. Once they are dry, roll the flags in and let them touch the glass. Be careful when you put the candles in. Make sure that when you light them up, the flame does not burn the flags inside.

Alternately: you can glue the flags on the surface outside.
