I’m a seasonal – holiday – theme lovin’ junkie. Just in case you didn’t know.
If you ever need to find me & I’m not at home, I’m in the seasonal section at Target.
I squeal just a little when they change it all up. I do believe I’ve passed this love for all things seasonal to my kids as well. Bless my husband’s heart. He just rolls his eyes & tries to hold tight to his wallet. 😉
Anyways, my oldest had some friends over for a playdate & my mind started turning for just a little pre-July 4th party decor.
I had already made this paint chip buntiing the other day. Super simple with my scalloped punch. I just used a bigger stitch with my sewing machine & presto it was done in about 5 minutes.
I also had these cupcake liners left over from Christmas. They’re the perfect thing to use to keep the bugs out of your glass, and they add a extra pop of color to any table as well! These are the pint size jars, that I’m sure everyone has some around their house. And who doesn’t have cupcake liners? So cute, right?
The pinwheels are from Walmart .97 cents each. Everyone needs pinwheels for July 4th!
Or if you’re feeling creative enough, you can always make your own pinwheels! My friend, Michele just did a post on how to make them here and they’re fabulous! My table cloth is a piece of fabric that I’ve used for so many parties. That too, was purchased from Walmart almost 3 years ago for a great price.
It’s amazing what just a little fluff can do to a table & how it can create such a happy mood for all!
I’ve got the red, white & blue fever big time. I’m already starting to think of all the food to make for July 4th. Mmm.Mmm.Mmm. good times & good food are indeed ahead!

Love the garland. I bought a sewing machine a few months ago, but it is still sitting in the box. I think I might be afraid of it! I haven’t sewn anything since home ec in junior high back in the 80’s! Thanks for sharing the cute ideas!
