It’s almost that time of the year when fireworks paint the sky bright and beautiful. We are talking about the one and only holiday that makes America the country it is – the Fourth of July! It’s just around the corner, and unlike every other year, the parties might be a little different this time, thanks to the ongoing pandemic. You might not be able to go clubbing and enjoy a wild night out this time, but that doesn’t have to stop you from enjoying the holiday. Whether you plan to organize a small party in your backyard or host one virtually, we’ve got you covered! Scroll below to find seven easy peasy DIY party decor ideas for the Fourth of July:
1. Tee-Wreath
Upcycle those old t-shirts and make them into a beautiful wreath. You could hang it right outside your door to show your patriotism to your country. All you need are some scissors, old t-shirts that are white, red, blue (colors of the American flag) and some thread. Tie them together, and voila — you have a Fourth of July front door wreath!
2.烛台
If you have an old candle jar lying around the house, you can transform it into a pretty candle that lights up on Independence Day! All you need are some white, blue, and red paint, a paintbrush and some silver glitter. Divide the jar into three sections and paint it like the American flag. Give it a little bit of glam by filling in the stars with silver glitter.

If you don’t have fancy ideas or don’t want to spend a lot of time decorating your home, you can stick to simple handmade flags. All you need is a pair of scissors and some colored paper. Once the flags are ready, you can either hang them up by making a tiny hole in them, or you can stick them on surfaces and let them flutter.
4. Pom Poms
内部的啦啦队长在你会喜欢这个!Pom poms are easy to make and extremely fun too. You’ll need a few color papers (you know which colors to pick), a pair of scissors and a stapler. There are different ways to do this. You can either make single-colored pom-poms or mix it up with a dual-color. Go ahead and let your creativity take over!
5. Paper Fans
Paper fans are fun to make and what’s more is you will be left feeling nostalgic. You only need two things to make these paper fans — a pair of scissors and colored paper. Cut the papers into rectangular pieces and fold them back and forth to form equal creases. Pinch the middle together and tie a ribbon on it to give it an extra flair. These paper fans are excellent decorations and are super easy to make!
6. Windsocks
Simple, super easy, and pretty, windsocks are the perfect decor for your backyard or front porch. You can use a cardboard tube, or a metal can for the top part and stick strips of colored paper at the bottom. Attach strings to the top to make them hang from surfaces. If you live in a windy place, these decorative items will move around and look super cool, kind of like a wind chime but without the sounds.
7. Decorate Glass Jar
If you don’t have the time to make something with scissors and paper, or you aren’t good with craft (even if they are super easy), here’s an incredibly effortless way to add a bit of “independence” to your home. You just need a glass jar and some colored crystals that are readily available in your local store. Add them together in layers to form the American flag and place them on your table or mantel. You could add silver or white star stickers on the glass jar to complete it.
The Fourth of July is a memorable holiday in America because it reminds everyone that they live in a free country.
