Happy Tuesday! I am LOVING my 4th of July Mantel! Davis even admitted its his favorite mantel I’ve done yet. sweet. I had so much fun making festive 4th of July crafts over the weekend for it. {yes, tutorials are coming this week!} I used navy blue and dark red and classic white.
4th of July Decorations
My fave is the Star and Stripe wood sign. It turned out so gorgeous!
I used the Vaseline technique to get the perfect chipped paint look that is so Americana!
And of course, there are to be flags and polka dots!
4th of July Crafts
I painted a mason jar red for a pretty flower vase. I got the white faux flowers on clearance at the craft store because they are labeled for spring. meh. White flowers are perfect any time of the year. ha!
That is my red, white, and navy blue stars and stripes mantel! So very patriotic and happy. I love it.
Come back tomorrow for the star and stripes sign tutorial!
happy crafting,

I love it all! I love anything patriotic and yours is really different and fun!!! I’ll have to check out the Vaseline technique! The plate with the mini bunting is my favorite. As soon as I get over this graduation party on Saturday, I’ll be able to pull out all of my summer/patriotic decor!
I LOVE it ! my favourite one so far too !
Can’t wait for your tutorials!
This mini bunting is so cute, I did a very similar one for the Jubilee (I am in the UK) a couple of weeks ago! I used mine to decorate cupcakes…!

Thanks for the inspiration! And have a happy fourth!
