2.Do The Day’s Chores For Them

Easy and Elegant 4th of July Decorations

Someone I knew made it a point to decorate his house no matter what the occasion was. Although that required him to take out time from his busy schedule, he still did it. His reasons were simple, he never wanted to miss out on a chance to add color to his life.

The closest opportunity for you to add color to your house is 4th of July. All of America will be celebrating this epic day and we’ve thought of a few ways in which you can add to the celebrations in your own way.

A family that prays together stays together. Same rule applies to eating together.

napkin2The simplest way to set the theme right for 4th of July is to set your dining table up with the colors of freedom. Instead of your usual napkins, use napkins that are of solid reds, blues and whites.

Buy loose red, white and blue flowers of your choice and set them up in little pots near your window sill.

starsFill up the shape with flour. Remove the stencil and continue adding more stars.

Planning to serve cupcakes? After you’ve frosted the cupcakes add red and blue sprinkles.

Another way to deck up your dining table is to place red flowers in blue tinted bottles. Have this placed on a white table cloth.
