Even with all of the barbecuing and belly flop competitions, it can be argued that half of the fun of the 4th is making your yard into a place of patriotic prestige. J&O has a great selection of fabrics that you can use to deck out your party.
#1- You Don’t Need Fireworks To Light Up The Night
As the day winds down, the sun sets, and kids are finally starting to get sleepy after a long day of playing, lighting votive candles is a lovely way to welcome the night. A creative way to cast a new light on your get together is to cover clear glass votive holders with one of our fabrics. Be sure to mix and match for the best effect.
Recommended Fabrics: Lace, Netting, Sequined Dress Fabric
#2- Patch Up Your Seating Arrangements
Having enough seating to accommodate your family, neighbors, and friends can get a little sticky, especially when you add kids to the equation. One way that we recommend giving everyone some extra elbowroom is to create picnic blankets to eat and socialize on in addition to patio furniture. These can be especially great for kids to lounge around and eat on. No matter how messy the blankets get, at the end of the day they can just get thrown into the washing machine. We recommend adding even more flair to these by weighing the middle of the blankets down with baskets filled with favors and/ or decorations!
Recommended Fabrics: Checkered Decorative Fabric, Flannel Fabric, Quilted Fabric
#3- Your Grand, Old, Highflying Flags
We love party garlands especially when they are used in an outdoor setting where they can catch a breeze. They are trendy, easy to make, and great to theme. For the 4th you can string together any number of abstract shapes you want from stars, to triangles, to a rectangular representation of our great old flag itself. Again, there is no limit to the mixing and matching that can be done with our fabrics to create one of these faux canopies. Make sure you work some solids in with patterns!
Recommended Fabrics: 4th of July Fabrics, Gingham Check, Pima Cotton Dress Fabrics
We at J&O hope that you enjoy these suggestions and wish you and yours a happy healthy 4th of July!
