This is my first year decorating for the 4th of July. I said it previously, I am not sure why because I love the 4th! Here is how I pulled all my projects together and created a mantle for next to nothing!
(please don’t mind the messed up garland…the photo below explains it! and I didn’t catch it in time!)
I used my framed Button Flag Art next to a Mason jar full of flags. What’s more Americana than a mason jar full of flags?
The red, white and blue rings at the bottom of the jar are actually buckle up bracelets! (they slid down, I had them a bit higher—bad photo day for me!) I picked those cute guys up at Mindy Mae’s Market. Along with the tags that I used for my garland below!
Regular paper tags clipped onto twine with teensy tiny clothespins! Doesn’t get easier than that! Front and center is my Chevron Canvas Art that I just finished and am in total love with. I know I am really late to the chevron fad!
Then a simple decorative vase, I already had filled with patriotic pin wheels I picked up in the $1 section at Tar-Jay!
On the left we have the Free 4th of July Printable I made as well as a USA sign I found at Dollar Tree!
So there is my first 4th of July Mantle! I am happy with it! Best part is that most if it can be used again for Memorial or Labor day too! You know I LOVE multi-tasking decorations!! :)
I hope everyone has a SAFE and fun 4th of July nest Wednesday!

I love the button flag, and how cute are the pinwheels in a vase!! I don’t normally decorate for the 4th either, even though I have some cute stuff! Need to make this a priority next year…
