Do you make your own DIY patriotic decor for your homestead? From the Dollar Store to Walmart, patriotic supplies can be found everywhere and inexpensively too.
We spend so much time on maintenance and upkeep, we often do not think about making some inexpensive decorations for the holidays. With the Fourth of July being just around the corner, let’s look at some DIY patriotic decor projects you can make today inside your home.
And don’t forget that you can decorate the outside of your home too! From flag poles for yard parties that you can use to fly Old Glory, to pennants on the porch so that you can show your patriotism all around your home, the possibilities are endless.
