Layer Up Red and White Striped Napkins
Layer patterned napkins over solid blue placemats on your outdoor dining table. The red and white ticking stripe goes on top of each place setting.
Serve Treats in Mini Buckets with Star Accents
Individual treats fit inside galvanized buckets, each embossed with stars. Tuck in a red star candle or a small American flag.
Galvanized Star Cups for Individual Desserts
Galvanized metal cups, punched with star cutouts, hold single-serving treats. Muffins or cupcakes fit inside, ready for guests to grab.
Red Paper Cones for Individual Popcorn Servings
Red paper cones hold individual portions of popcorn.
Weave Red and Blue Streamers for a Table Runner
When you want a textured runner, intersperse strips of red and blue crepe paper or streamers. These form a woven effect down the center of the table.
Denim Pockets Keep Utensils and Napkins Organized
A denim pocket holds cutlery and a folded bandana. Adorned with a red star, the pocket can sit directly on a runner or placemat.
Clear Vases Showcase Patriotic Fillers
On the table, clear square vases hold festive fillers like red, blue, and white candies. A metal number cutout can go on the front of each vase.
Star-Shaped Place Cards Welcome Guests
Navy blue star-shaped cards, with names written in white chalk or marker, can clearly label each guest’s spot when placed directly on top of each plate.
Mason Jars with Daisies Add Freshness
Use mason jars to hold small arrangements of white daisies. Add lemon slices and a few sprigs of greenery to the water.
Paper Fans Add Flair to Drinkware
Circular, pleated paper fans feature red, white, and blue star patterns. Insert them into a mug or pitcher filled with ice.
Mini American Flags Create Instant Centerpieces
Small American flags stick into white cups for your picnic table. Grouping several flags together in each cup creates a fuller display.
Bandana-Print Flags Add Whimsy to Sliders
Toothpick flags with bandana print go into mini burgers.
Cupcakes Mimic the American Flag
If you want an edible flag, arrange cupcakes on a wooden board. Use blueberries for stars and stripes, raspberries for red stripes, and white frosting or shredded coconut for white stripes.
Blue Bottles and Glasses Hold Red Flowers
Cobalt blue glass bottles and matching drinking glasses hold bright red ranunculus. Grouping these varying heights of blue glass works best.
This creates a dynamic visual against the table runner.
