35+ EASY Patriotic DIY Home Decorations to Celebrate America
If you love a good patriotic craft, take a look here! Here are 35+ red, white, and blue DIY decoration projects! This festive home decor is perfect for Memorial Day, 4th of July or Summer! These adult crafts are so easy that even the kids can help!
Summer: Quintessentially American
One of my favorite things about summer is the American holidays… Memorial Day, 4th of July. BBQs, pool parties, backyard entertaining…
They already feel American, but when you add in that we are actually celebrating America, well, to be redundant, it doesn’t get any more American than that.
Patriotic Crafts as Home Decor
Patriotic red, white, and blue decorations fill in some of the space between spring and fall decor. And the Americana aesthetic can absolutely stand all on its own.
Even if you have summer decorations for your home, there’s still plenty of time to display them after the 4th of July.
Or if your spring home decor goes the distance until fall, patriotic decorations are a fun way to change things up for a solid 6 weeks period.
Or, even if you just want to pull them out of Memorial Day or 4th of July to celebrate, that’s great too! It’s all fun.
Red, White & Blue DIY Projects: Easy for Adults & Kids
Here are 35+ patriotic DIY home decor pieces. These are easy craft projects that will bring a little Americana to your home or for your party.
Because they are decorations, they are mostly for (interesting to) adults, but honestly, some are easy enough to pull the kids into as well.
Take a look below and grab a few that catch your eye! You’ll be able to use them for both Memorial Day and the 4th of July – or either, if that suits you.
It’s also fun if you’re hosting a BBQ as well!

Thank you so much, Kate, for the shoutout and link to my RWB wood bead star garland… I’ve received some nice traffic from the post! Love all the ideas you featured here… and so glad to meet you through your blog! Pinned!

Thanks so much for sharing my wood bead garland with stars, Kate! Pinned!
Thank you so much for allowing me to do so and for pinning, Julie! It’s one of my favorites out of the whole roundup! 🙂
Thank you for the ideas. I can’t believe the 4th of July is less than a month away. My one wish this year is that my mom won’t be able to come up. Can’t I celebrate my freedom and America’s freedom in peace just once?
I hope it ends up being a wonderful day of celebrating our freedom, Teresa!
