The Easy To Make Tablescape Setting
Since I love our new greenhouse so much, I decided it would be fun to celebrate the Fourth of July by creating an Easy Patriotic Tablescape on the center table.

However, I had to style the whole greenhouse because that’s what I love to do.

You will see how this potting table was built here. Today, it is styled with a drying rack, a vintage toolbox, and a handmade cloche.
How the Made Easy Patriotic Tablescape Began
I purchased the table runner a few years ago and wanted napkins that would coordinate with it. However, my search was not successful, so I decided to make them myself.

Having a lot of scrap-ticking fabric came in handy when making these fun Patriotic Napkins and creating whimsical chandelier decor.

The pocket on the DIY Patriotic Napkins is perfect for holding the silverware.

Other Fourth of July Table Decor
The place mates, paper straws, red metal buckets, and mini flags were all very inexpensive. I love using my Bee Glasses for summertime entertaining because they work well with almost any summer theme.

A Thrift Store Basket filled with plants and flags serves as the centerpiece for our Fourth of July Table.

The corner desk also received a patriotic touch with some fresh-cut red geraniums and a flag.
Fabric strips and hand-stitched stars hang from the Re-purposed Chandelier.
I shared the chandelier transformation on a previous post, which you can see here.

Vintage Ironstone Dishes are the perfect base for this 4th of July Patriotic Theme.

The Chandelier DIY Arrangement
To create a fun patriotic chandelier, you begin by stripping the red and blue ticking fabric. Start by using scissors to cut a 1/2″ slit at the top of your fabric, and then strip the fabric by hand. Because you want a raw, frazzled edge, be sure to use 100% cotton fabric for this project. Continue to make as many fabric strips as you desire, and then tie them to the chandelier in varying lengths.

The drop cloth fabric stars were originally made for the napkins however I later decided to use them on the chandelier.
You can see how they were made here.

Adding a flag to your plants is an inexpensive way to create some patriotic whimsy.

The center table is bar height, so we added a few seats from my bar stool collection.

In addition, adding fun paper straws is an easy way to add a patriotic touch to the table.
The handmade DIY Patriotic Napkins were a spur of the moment idea and I shared all the details here on my last blog post.

The DIY Apothecary Cabinet is actually an IKEA transformation. You will not believe the before photos.

I filled this handmade thrift store basket with a live fern and my mom’s old watering can.

Happy Fourth of July Week. I hope you enjoyed this inexpensive Made Easy Patriotic Tablescape. If you have questions or comments, please leave them below.

Absolutely adorable! It’s the perfect amount of festive. I personally could go all out but the thought of looking like my crazy Aunt Betty (think Disney World of red, white and blue) keeps me grounded and controlled. LOL! If y’all ever want to add another person to your hops, keep me in mind. They are all so cute! Pinned
