Easy DIY Patriotic Crafts To Make
I thought I’d share some DIY patriotic crafts and home decor that can be used for several patriotic holidays throughout the year including Memorial Day, 4th of July, Flag Day, and Labor Day. We don’t need a specific reason to celebrate our country, but many patriotic celebrations call for red, white, and blue crafts and decor.

When making a list of patriotic holidays, I surprised myself with how many celebrations and national events I came up with. I won’t list them all, but I wanted to give you several ways red, white, and blue crafts can be used in your home decor, party decorations, or days of remembrance.
I’ll be making several of these easy craft projects to decorate for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Flag Day, Veteran’s Day, and Columbus Day.
