4th of July DIY Goodies

The 4th of July is just around the corner and we have decided to though a little shindig at our house this year.  Our back yard faces one of the open spaces where they let off the fireworks each year, and it’s less than a 1/4 mile away.  Plus, we have an open greenbelt behind out house for everyone to lay on blankets and watch the festivities without the big crowds.  It’s perfect!  Now that all of the wedding stuff is finished (for my pal Jessica) and I’m back from Puerto Rico, I have time to sit down and get inspired.  I’ve found so many great DIY ideas for the big day, and I just had to share them with you.  Enjoy…

{twig and thistle} I love the idea of providing each guest with a sparkler set to celebrate the big day!  It’s simple and fun.

{the sweetest occasion} These straw tags are simply adorable!

{martha stewart} How easy and perfect are these little firework decorations!  These are a must.

{kinser event company} One word: Pinwheels!

{twig and thistle} What the…!!!  Genius!  These would be a great treat and easy to eat.

{my recipes & southern living} blueberry ice cubes and berry splash juice.

Eeeeee… I hope you are as inspired as I am to throw your own little party to celebrate our nations freedom and liberty!
