Easy Ways to Decorate with Patriotic Red, White, and Blue Decor

My mom loved her holidays.  Every holiday.  The Fourth of July was one of her favorites.  When I was a little girl, Mom made us matching outfits for the Fourth.  I remember like it was yesterday.  And there was not a time when Mom and Dad failed to sport their red, white, and blue on every patriotic holiday.  We proudly strutted our red, white and blue decor!

As a veteran, Dad was a devout patriot.  He was indeed an American enthusiast and you just couldn’t help being patriotic with Dad around.  My normal decorations for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day usually consist of sticking flags into the dirt around the garden.  I don’t think I’ve missed a holiday in years.

My Simple Tip:  Use Red, White and Blue Flags in your Decor!

Using flags to decorate is really as easy as poking them into the dirt around the yard! 

Inside, you just simply scatter them around your home.  

Display them in a bottle.

Put one in a wreath.

Add some amidst your fresh cut flowers.

Or tuck a few into a plant.

Here is my kitchen.

And here is my kitchen decorated with flags.  So simple, right?

Great Buys on Flags

Walmart had these 4 packs of  4″x6″ small flags for $2.12.  I bought 3 packs.  That’s plenty for the kitchen, the living room and the deck!

I also used my larger flags, that I normally use in the yard, around the house.  These are 12″x18″ and priced at $2.28 for a 2 pack at Walmart.

While I was there, I grabbed a new 4’x6′ flag for our pole out front.  The last flag blew so much it completely frayed to pieces. 

I love to show my American pride by flying a flag outside of our front door.  Several of our neighbors have flags too.  My heart smiles when I pull into the neighborhood.

I keep my flags in a coat closet year round.  But when I take them our for Memorial Day, they stay tucked away near the front door to use again on 4th of July and Labor Day.  That way I have no excuse for skipping the holiday.  

So fly your flags proudly my friends!!!  And scatter them everywhere…it’s an easy way to decorate!
