4th of July Camping Decor

I love decorating for the 4th, do you? We are camping but that doesn't mean I can't decorate our campsite. Right?

I tried to make items that would travel well and not take up too much space.

We had a palm tree right beside our campsite that was the perfect spot to place my 4th of July decor.

I had seen shutters painted for the 4th of July and decided to paint one for myself. It was easy to do. My shutter was already painted white so all I had to do was paint contrasting rows of red.

I cut a star out of card stock and laid it near the top. I covered the rest of the shutter to protect it from the blue paint. I then spray painted the top part blue. You can't really tape the star down but if you spray straight from above, it works great. I only had to touch up a couple of places on the star.

My bottles were ones you saw previously in my 4th of July Centerpiece. I filled them with sand and just stuck the flags in there from the Dollar Tree.
