There are several holidays I consider my favorites, and July 4th would be one of them. Although not one of America’s religious holidays, it’s an opportunity for me and my family and other patriots to share our pride in being a United States citizen and show some good ole’ patriotism. We love to have friends and family over for a large cookout then attend a fireworks display in town. Sometimes we just stay at home with the babies with sparklers and watch the fireworks on television at The National Mall in Washington, DC.
I thought I would share some of the July 4th Projects and Recipes I have shared here at The Everyday Home over the years.

5.) PB-Inspired Stenciled Flag Pillow
Last year, Pottery Barn featured a cute Americana lumbar-style pillow which inspired me to create my own. Using drop cloth fabric, craft paint and painter’s tape, I created my own stenciled flag pillow. I love how it turned out.

6.) Quick ‘n Easy Mini Cheesecake Bites
When the weather outside is hot and humid, the last thing you want is to spend hours indoor over a hot oven baking, and the last thing your guests will want to do is eat a bunch of heavy desserts. These Quick ‘n Easy Cheesecake Bites fit the bill.

7.) NO SEW American Burlap and Bandana Banner
I love a simple craft with a lot of punch. Whenever something is NO SEW that scores high in my book, too. This banner is crafted using burlap and dollar store bandanas. Easy Peasy!

8.) 10 Patriotic Desserts
Baseball, Hotdogs and Apple Pie! As American as it comes. And if you want to throw in some red strawberries and the bluest of blueberries – that’s okay, too. Here are some great Patriotic style dessert ideas, you can fix one or all 10. 😀
I love these Red. White and Blue Parfaits by Our Life Tastes Good
9.) Patriotic Printables
I have a passion for tin cans. I can’t tell you how many uses they have. I especially love using them to hold silverware and napkins and things that need corralling on the table during parties. You can create pretty printables to wrap the cans to add special touches for holidays.
I designed these three printables to coordinate with each other and they can be trimmed to fit the can of your choice.
You can also create some cute mini pennant banners using paper straws…

10.) JULY 4TH TIN CAN CENTERPIECE
I combined the tin cans and the printables seen above and created a simple centerpiece for my July 4th Dessert Table. I used basic silk florals in red, whites and blues and added some colorful sunflowers.
Finally I added mini American flags and the Paper Straw Pennant Flags and small chalkboards on sticks that spelled out U-S-A. So easy!
