DIY Door Decor: Patriotic Theme Red White And Blue Ideas
I like to add patriotic décor to my home during the Summer and the front door is a prime decorating spot! But I don’t have any red, white, and blue for the door, no wreaths, no signs, no nothing that would work. I made this hat wreath last year from inexpensive items I bought at the Dollar Tree but it’s really light weight and I’m not sure how it would do on the door.
It hangs on the footboard of the navy blue guest bedroom during the Summer months and that’s the perfect spot for it. I really like the hat wreath and was recently contacted by a writer for The Pioneer Woman website asking if she could feature the project in an article about Fourth of July Wreaths. Why sure! They also asked to feature my rustic wood flag with the iron star in a roundup of Fourth of July Decorations.
And that was a yes from me too. The wood flag is not the conventional colorful flag and I like the rustic look. You can see how I made the neutral color flag here.
My DIY flag above is still my favorite. I made it back in 2014. You can see that project here.
I’ve gone way off course in this post, sorry. I was searching Pinterest and Google for Fourth of July wreath ideas or simple door hangings and I found a bunch of inspiration. Twenty patriotic theme door decor projects to be exact. I thought I would share these with you and maybe you can help me pick out a project for the front door. The photos for the projects are curtesy of the blogs where the original tutorials can be found.
