2. Firework Centerpiece

3. Stars and Stripes Crown
This paper crown is cute to wear, fun to make, and you can add as many stars as you want. There are no downsides to this DIY 4th of July craft for kids by Awesomely Crafty. And there’s no rule saying you have to be a kid to wear it! For a little added sparkle, try using metallic cardstock.
4. Star Wreath
Decorations start at the front door! Get busy crafting this cute 4th of July star wreath by The House That Lars Built. They create their own gradient pieces, but if you’d rather simplify the process, you can just use solid-colored cardstock. Keep the accordion star motif going by creating small clusters and using them as centerpieces for your table.
5. Red, Wreath, and Blue
Simple stars not a bold enough statement for you? Try this second July 4th paper wreath option by CraftISH Corner, featuring Astrobrights cardstock. This variation is a bit simpler than the star wreath, so it’s a great option kids or for older crafters with limited time.
