4th of July Crafts to Make Your Party Pop

There's always a reason to party when it's summer, but perhaps the most compelling reason is Independence Day. We've put together a bunch of patriotic 4th of July crafts to make this American holiday, and your party table, a hit. From red, white and blue invitations to table decor and wearables, you'll be inspired by these summertime crafts.

Party Invitations

It's obviously not a party without guests. Today's Creative Life has adorable 4th of July party invitations to get the party started. Many of these pieces can be used on your Facebook page or Twitter by people like me who can barely remember to send out invitations.

Patriotic Wreath

Welcome guests and impress neighbors with this lovely patriotic wreath from Landee See, Landee Do. You won't believe that this fireworks wreath was finished in under twenty minutes! It's a bright way to set the mood at the door and have a fun Independence Day.

Flatware Holders

Start the buffet line with these patriotic flatware holders. Crafts for All Seasons shares this project which reuses tin cans to make a functional and colorful American tribute.

Food Trays

Paper Lollies

Illuminate picnic tables with this great 4th of July craft from Kami at no biggie. The paper lollies staged in vases filled with candies make colorful centerpieces.
