We used $1 bandannas from the dollar store to make red, white and blue pillow toppersVideo: Easy Bandana PillowsI show you how easy it is to make these cute pillow coversA quick and simple way to make patriotic pillows for your porch is to use red, white and blue bandannas from your dollar store. Instead of making the entire pillow, I just made pillow toppers over an existing pillow.
You just need one bandana for each pillow
I simply wrapped each pillow in a bandana and pinned the bandana to the back. I put the bandannas on the pillows diagonally because it's easier to fasten the 4 points on the back this way. Don't worry if a little bit of the pillow underneath shows on the corners. Just makes for a more fun pillow. 
I turned the pillow over to show you how I fastened the bandana with 4 safety pins. So simple. In fact, I think that I might start making my pillow toppers to go on this way from now on - diagonally. That way they can fasten on the back instead of the front.

We really have enjoyed our own Americana style decorating for the 4th of July. We designed these burlap banners for our porch columns and they were quick and easy to make. Do you want to make some banners for your porch? 
With thanks to one of our readers, Lily, for sharing her porch with us. She spray painted the baskets and tiled the cement bench. Pretty, aren't they? Such beautiful sunshine streaming through the American flag. 
We like the nostalgic looking banners across the railings - reminds of the way front porches were decorated at the turn of the 19th century. 
Buntings are an easy way in which to decorate for any patriotic holiday, remembrance, or celebration. Remember; however, to put the blue color on top! 
Decorate hanging baskets and potted plants

Thanks to Sandra Benham Bruce for sharing her patriotic porch with us. We also love her porch swing and that water pump. Dave's Painting TipPainting metal objects can sometimes be challenging, especially if they have been already painted once. We like to use Zinsser®, a paint product available at your local home building supply store.Apply a coat of Zinsser®, let dry, and then paint over it with a color of your choice. Zinsser® notonly adheres to almost any surface, but also allows other paints to stick to it with ease.
