For starters, the perfect outdoor decoration for every occasion are the beautiful wreaths for our doors. I happen to have the perfect idea for 4th of July! All you need to get are wooden clothespins. The wreath itself you can do from a cardboard, if you don’t have craft wire. Paint your clothespins in white, blue and red and decorate with stars as shown on the photo. The stars you can make from the same cardboard, since you are probably going to have some leftovers. This wreath recreates the American flag, which is an essential when it comes to 4th of July decoration. This craft will not take more than 30 minutes!

4th of July Decoration Ideas for Outside

Are you wondering how to decorate your veranda, patio, or garden for the 4th of July? This is one of the easiest and cheapest decoration idea that you can try in 2023! There are two ways that you can do this craft – you can either use old cans, or toilet paper roll. What do you need:

old cans or toilet paper roll
satin ribbons (or any other material that you can find)
blue paint
white paper for the stars
glue
scissors
twine

You can follow the steps on the photo shown below, if you choose to use toilet paper roll, which is actually the easier method. If you want to use canes, then you will have to drill holes inside for the twine, since you have to hang them somewhere. The toilet paper roll method is suitable for toddlers as well!

Homemade 4th of July Decorations for Toddlers

Yes, that’s right, you see it! These are rocks! Kids love to draw on everything, even the walls sometimes! And did you know that these rock painting kits sell for over $20? Why spend money when you can go out for a walk this afternoon or tomorrow morning and find the right stones for your child to paint on? All you have to do is buy paint! And if you are going to celebrate outside and there is wind, you can put them on the tablecloth to protect it.

This is another cheap and easy idea that your kids will love! Get them as many wooden sticks for craft as you can and some paint and show them how to recreate the American flag!

DIY 4th of July Centerpiece

Centerpieces are the thing that brings beauty to our table. If you have a glass vase at your home, then you can let your creativity run wild and let the decoration games begin! You can buy mini flags, flowers, confetti, etc. and arrange them elegantly in your vase (as shown on the photo). If you want something “extra”, you can add fairy lights into the vase, before you make the arrangements.
