It is that time of year when I decorate with red, white, and blue for the summer holidays. 
I've done several fun projects already and with the supplies for this one, I made two projects. 
This pretty garland was so easy to make I did it at work! 
I kid you not! Take a look...

On a recent trip to the craft store I came close to buying this pretty Fourth of July rag garland... but I didn't. 

Garlands and banners are so much fun to make and really very easy too. 
Today I'm creating a tiny pennant banner to decorate a tiered tray or peg shelf for the Fourth of July.
I used scraps of fabric and a piece of string... that's it!  
Take a look....

Happy Memorial Day weekend friends!  🇺🇸
And let's remember today and always, those that gave their lives for our freedom! 
Today I made an easy frayed rag garland flag to hang around my house. 
I love the colors of the flag and this easy project can be left up all summer!

This might just be my favorite banner of all times! 
I'm using repurposed materials, a little painting, a little stenciling, and a little iron-on technique. 
I created an American flag pennant banner that is great for summer decorating and the best part is that this one is reversible! 
See what I mean...

Oops I did it again! I repurposed another old piece of wall art. 
I had a long horned bull picture that used to belong to my daughter hanging in the basement. It had faded and now it was a pink long horned bull. 
I knew I should hang on to it because one of these days I was going to repurpose this pink bull and today is that day! 
Take a look...

This project is so free and easy to make that it's sinful!  The inspiration came to me from a project a friend did recently and I just happen to have the sweet gum tree nearby!

If you liked the easy rag flag I made using scrap fabric and a doily, then you're going to like this one too! 
Who doesn't like a cute project you can make from recycled clothing? 
I sure do! 
So gather your old red and white clothing along with a pair of blue jeans that are headed to donation and follow along! 

You've probably seen these awesome flags around the internet and like me, knew it would be so easy to make using things I already had around the house! Today I'm giving it a try and I'm thrilled with the results!

I've wanted one of these for a long time. 
It seems the bottle opener is always hard to find at our outdoor parties. 
When I saw this great DIY on a friend's blog I knew I had to get to work and finally make one for myself. 
An American flag theme seemed the perfect design for this well used summer essential! 

I love making American flags and through the years on Homeroad I've made a ton of them! 
I found a great set of star stencils that takes the work out of making the stars on the flags I make. 
Today I'm repurposing something pretty weird to make an adorable wooden American flag.
Take a look...

If you've ever run across a great cardboard box and thought, "There must be something I can do with this great box"...
Then you're my person today! 
I've been collecting these blueberry crates from BJ's lately. 
I'm sure you can probably find them at other big box stores or even the grocery store.
Honestly, just about any kind of cardboard box will work for this project...

I'll begin by saying that I love this project and if you have a lot of wine corks laying around like I do, this is the cutest thing to make! 
This wasn't my idea, I ran across a bunch of inspiration pins on Pinterest.
I'm making my own red, white, and blue version for the summer holidays. 
So grab some wine corks and follow along, it's easy! 

I can not take credit for this cute idea but I'm going to put my own spin on it and put it out there for everyone looking to decorate a tiered tray or fill a bowl with decorations for summer and the Fourth of July. 

I love this summer and all the American flags that are displayed during the holidays. 
It is something about the graphics of the flag that I love. 
In the past 12 years on Homeroad I've done a ton of American flag projects and sometimes the simple ones are the best! 
Today's project is for the beginner and is super simple to do! 

Are you ready for the summer months? 
All the red, white and blue and American flags? 🇺🇸
Making American flags is one of my favorite things to make and this one is the best! 
I was inspired by a flag I saw and I created one for my mantel that I love! ...

A flower pocket is a quick and easy way to display faux flowers of all kinds. 
I've made several over the years and they look great and sell well. 
Today I'm trying a new crackle technique along with using one of my favorite stencils for making easy stars! 
Take a look...

I painted Mason jars in red, white, and blue this morning and I discovered a trick while I was painting.

American flag anything is great for summer decorating. 
Today I'm taking an old thrift store basket and turning it into a beautiful painted flag basket for the Fourth of July. 
This easy project will look great all summer! 
Grab a basket and follow along! 

Every project has to begin and end somewhere.  Sometimes my projects begin again even after they've become a project.  This outdoor tray is a repurposed project from a Christmas sign...
