My Budget Friendly Patriotic Vignette

You may remember my budget friendly Easter vignette that cost me under $10, well now I’m back to bring you my budget friendly decor for Memorial Day and the 4th of July! This is my first time to decorate for Memorial Day or July 4th so I tried to be creative with DIY and as many budget friendly ideas as possible.

I didn’t want to buy a new wreath and I didn’t have time to make a cool rustic flag so I just hung a DIY burlap hanger that I made last year on a wreath I already had. Burlap hangers are very inexpensive DIY projects and there are so many cute ideas out there.

Using some scrap burlap I had in my craft supplies, I made this pennant banner. I just used white and red burlap and painted two pennants blue with some stars. This was a quick and free DIY project to use with my patriotic vignette.

I already had blue candles and printed a free printable I found online to frame.

Patriotic_Decor_HI painted and distressed some mason jars I had around the house (FREE) and just hung these cute galvanized stars that I got from the Target Dollar Spot. The flowers were some I already had and the little sign was a clearance find from Kirklands around Thanksgiving.

Patriotic_Decor_V5I love using thrift store books to add height and color. They’re really inexpensive and an easy decor item. I already had some decorative ball filler that was red and natural so I picked up a few from the thrift store and spray painted them blue to use along with what I had. It’s inexpensive and easy filler for lanterns or bowls, baskets, etc. The little blue vase with twine was a clearance find from Hobby Lobby that I picked up this week!

This entire Patriotic vignette cost me less than $10 by using what I had and utilizing thrift store finds.

Here is my cost breakdown:

  • Stars – $2
  • Thrift Store Decor Balls $1
  • Thrift Store Books $1
  • Flag from Walmart $1 for 4 pack
  • Blue vase with twin – Hobby Lobby $1.60

My goal for sharing my holiday decor is to share that it doesn’t mean you have to go buy all new holiday decor if you want to decorate for the holidays. Be resourceful with what you have and what you can DIY. There are lots of cute patriotic printables on Pinterest for banners, flags, pinwheels, etc. I am not a fan of spending a lot of money to decorate on holidays other than Christmas but I love changing it up a little for a month or so!
