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 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!

You can buy mini flags, flowers, confetti, etc. and arrange them elegantly in your vase (as shown on the photo).
