So you are planning a Fourth of July celebration and you want to make it festive. Rather than spending a lot of money on Fourth of July decorations to place around your house or yard a greater impact is achieved by focusing on decorating one area.

A Fourth of July tablescape will provide for a festive and functional decoration for your celebration!

Here is a budget friendly, fantastic red, white and blue tablescape idea…

Some of the little pieces which went into this 4th of July holiday table setting are easy details that make a big splash:

Linens~

– Red Table Cloth (I picked up my linen cloth at Goodwill for $3.00)

– A Patterned Cloth Overlay (I picked up mine from Joanne Fabrics for $5.00)

– Cloth Napkins (I picked up these Paisley Patterned Napkins at Goodwill for $2.00 for the set)

Serving Ware~

– Plastic Plates & Cups (These came from the Better Home & Gardens brand at Wal-Mart for $1.50 each)

– (You can add stemware… we didn’t because we had finger foods)

– Flags or Pinwheels (each from Joanne fabrics for only $1.50)

Centerpiece~

– Clear Vase (already owned it)

– Flowers (from Sam’s for $5.00 a bundle)

– Blueberries (I actually used leftover right from our fridge)

– Cherries (I used these directly from the fridge too)

– Shish Kabob Sticks (free from our fridge)

– Red, White & Blue Felt Sheets (each from Michael’s Craftstores for only .29 cents)

Here’s a sneak peek at the ‘star stick’ process:

There you have it… A 4th of July tablescape for the patio table for a fun pool party, perfect for Independence Day!

I hope you love the photos of our Fourth of July tablescape and seeing the many elements broken down simply. Are you having a big bash for your friends and family? Are you sprucing up your tables or backyards? Do tell.

Happy 4th of July from A Design Story, LLC.

  • @BJsWholesale curbside pickup is the best friend of busy Moms everywhere! #BJsWholesalePartner I love that I can sit in the comfort of my own home, while enjoying a good cup of coffee and order what I need for our family in a flash. Pulling up in that curbside lane and not having to wrangle kiddos or pull out the stroller is truly lifesaving some days. Busy moms know what I am talking about! I love that BJ’s offers convenient shopping options for the days that are curbside pickup kind-of days, same-day delivery kind-of days, and the days that call for
