Ready for The Fourth Of July
Everyone is so busy; there isn't time to do everything. But we still like to entertain friends especially on a holiday like the Fourth of July. It's such a casual day for relaxing, we don't want to be stressed out from preparations.
Look in cupboards and closets. See what you have that's the red, white, and blue, July Fourth colors. You can decorate with articles from around the house.
Assemble the following from belongings in the house. If you don't have the exact objects substitute like items. Stay in the red, white and blue color scheme. You want your decorations to say July Fourth.
One white sheet, a piece of blue material from scrap basket, a plant, a blue bowl, a blue shallow bowl, two red, white and blue baskets, two small red white and blue buckets. some white plates, and desert bowls and a white dish towel with red stars on it.
The baskets and buckets came from a last year after Fourth of July sale for twenty-five cents each. Purchase four small flags from the Dollar Store for seventy-five cents each. A total of four dollars was spent on Fourth of July decorations. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Spread white sheet over table. Turn bottom of sheet under to hide the legs of the table. Cut blue material in rectangle to create a small runner. Place in center of table. Arrange plant in the center of the rectangle. The American flags go in the plant, one in the front, one in the back and one on each side. Wrap the dish towel loosely around the flower pot. This is the basis of your July Fourth decoration.
2. On the right of the plant put the small baskets with white desert bowl sitting next to each basket. On the left put the small buckets. White plates should set in front of the buckets. The blue bowls go in front of the plant.
3. Chips go in the baskets with the dip in the white desert bowls. Put utensils in one bucket and napkins in the other. The white plates can be used to eat on or as serving dishes for food from the grill. Strawberries and /or cherry tomatoes will give color to the blue bowl. Thinly sliced watermelon in the shallow blue bowl will say "Happy Fourth of July".
4. Add some red throw pillows to the chairs and you'll have a nice Fourth of July theme without a lot of work and very little money spent.
