Simple Beach 4th of July Decorations

Rudy, Reed and I are enjoying our visit at the beach. We had the whole clan over for the 4th yesterday and of course I wanted to put together the decorations for the party. I created these simple decorations from what we had on hand. I only purchased a $10 bouquet of red carnations from Costco.

We had a great time - hope you had a safe and happy 4th!

Thank you to Rudy for taking these pictures! Did you create any decorations for the 4th? I would love to see them!

4th Of July Star

After being inspired last week, I put together my 4th of July "wreath" from a decorative star and some ribbon I already had on hand.

I looped the flag ribbon several times and then cinched it in the middle with the red and white ribbon. Then I used this to attach it to the star. Pulling out the loops of the bow was easy after that.

I think this could be considered kind of country...like I am one step away from painted birdhouse wallpaper but I still like it. Also love that I put it together from supplies I already had. So a free project!

I am at the beach now...can't wait for a week of relaxation. More pictures to come!

Simple 4th of July Decorations

I am going to be spending the week with my family at the beach all next week. As much as I would love to style the occasion and think of all these great DIY decorations, I really just want to be with the family. So there will be pictures from our week to come, and definitely our tablescapes but they will be low key, relaxed and not involve much effort.

I wanted share these for a little inspiration...keep it simple inspiration!
