This is seriously easy to make and it is super affordable. Find out how to add fireworks of your own to your 4th of July party with this tutorial from Yesterday On Tuesday.

2. Denim Pennants

You don’t get more American than denim and this garland has it in spades. Duct Tape and Denim kind of specializes in using blue jeans and this tutorial doesn’t disappoint.

3. Patriotic Pairings

What is better than one fabulous garland tutorial? How about three easy peasy 4th of July decorations all in one?! Over at Adventures in Making they break down each one so that you can have the most patriotic party out there.

4. Duct Tape Banner

Duct Tape is well known as a go to product for fixing just about everything, but how about fixing up a pretty garland. Over at Chic California they show you how to make a simple banner with just twine and duct tape.

5. Tissue Paper Tassels

This patriotic garland is so fun I can’t even handle it! Who knew that tissue paper could look so good and so festive? Over at Landeelu they give you a breakdown of how to make this amazing garland.

6. Easy Fabric Strip Bunting

Bunting can sometimes be a hassle and if you don’t know how to sew then it can be hard to make on your own. This DIY from Second Chances has a clever way to make a faux bunting that requires no sewing at all.

7. 3D Paper Star

All this garland requires is the ability to fold a star a few times to make it into a 3D star. How simple is that?! Just head on over to Get Creative Juice to get the whole tutorial and start folding!

8. Paper Straw Garland

Paper straws have become super popular over the last few years and can be found just about anywhere. The Crazy Craft Lady shows you how to make a cute garland out of paper straws that looks like tiny little firecrackers.

9. Tulle Pom Poms

I love these cute little pom poms from Hey Let’s Make Stuff. And to top it off they are easy as pie to make and string together.

10. Patriotic Yarn Lights

These yarn balls made from balloons and glue are not an entirely new concept, but over at eHow they give it a red, white, and blue spin that would look great strung across any mantle.

11. Bandana Bunting

Bandanas are pretty much an all American staple when it comes to the 4th Of July. This bunting garland from Premeditated Leftovers is even more special because if you can tie a knot you can make it!

12. Doily Banner

Doilies always seem a bit dated and cheap but over at Creative Itch they couldn’t look any better! With just a little bit of spraypaint and some string a fabulous creation is born!

13. Scrap Fabric Garland

This is another simple garland that can be made from just about any red, white, and blue scraps you have laying around. Over at Catch My Party they give a great detailed tutorial on how to make this rustic garland.

14. Rocket Garland

This colorful line of rockets is made from toilet paper tubes if you can believe it! This project from Be Different Act Normal would also be a great craft for the kiddos.

15. Crochet Circle Garland

Although this project is meant as a winter holiday project there is no reason that it couldn’t be switched to some red, white, and blue circles. If you can do some basic crochet stitches, Make and Take has a great pattern for you to try out.

16. Denim and Burlap Lights

The best part about this DIY from Create Craft Love is that you have an excuse to use Christmas lights throughout the year. Even if you don’t have burlap, scrap fabric would look just as awesome in this simple tutorial.

17. Tablecloth Tassels

Over at The Scrap Shop Blog they have a great way to make a patriotic backdrop for only 4 dollars! Using just a few supplies from the dollar section you can make a garland that is festive and weather resistant.
