50 Budget Friendly 4th Of July Decorations, Crafts and Recipes

Today our Thrift Store Decor Team is putting together a collection of our favorite 4th of July decorations, crafts and recipes.

I think the Fourth Of July calls for colorful, easy-to-make and inexpensive projects. The best part of 4th Of July crafting is you can use patriotic decor all summer long since Memorial Day, Flag Day and Labor Day all call for red, white and blue also.

Most of our projects are repurposed items from thrift stores with a healthy dose of dollar store crafts and family favorite recipes.

Over 50 4th Of July crafts, DIY home decor projects and recipes!

I'll highlight a few of the patriotic projects I am particularly fond of. The rest of the 50+ will be listed down toward the bottom where you see a bunch of squares.
