With Memorial Day behind us and July 4th on the way, it’s easy to get swept up in all things red, white, and blue. Luckily for everyone, there are all kinds of upcycling ideas and repurposed projects for patriotic decor. From Independence Day decoration ideas to American flag decor, there is a lot inspiration for red, white, and blue decor out there.
Patriotic decor NEVER goes out of style, and it’s even more special when you’ve upcycled and repurposed something to create it!
I have, of course, completed several of my own Independence Day decorations that are upcycled and repurposed. My favorite one is probably this wreath made from patriotic ties…
But I also love this American flag decor in buffalo plaid!
But, of course, I’m not the only upcycling blogger who has created some patriotic home decor with items from the thrift store!
So, I hunted down some terrific ideas from my blogger-friends, and I’m pretty sure you’ll be inspired. And patriotic decor works all summer long, well beyond Memorial day and Independence Day!
Such as this Liberty Bell that was made from a glass light shade…
So, you can outfit your home, patio, and garden with any number of these upcycling ideas. Plus, you could always let the red, white, and blue decor fly all year long, too.
30+ Upcycling Ideas for Patriotic Decor
So, do any of these upcycling ideas for patriotic decor and Independence Day decorations speak to you? Perhaps an idea has sparked for your own red, white, and blue decor!
I have a couple of pieces in my garage to upcycle in red, white, and blue, as well. Keep your fingers crossed that they work out!
If you’re interested in upcycling ideas that have an Americana feel, then you may also be interested in this upcycling idea for a hot pad, as well!
I’m also super excited to announce that my first book is now available! If you love working with flannel or fabric crafts in general (sewing and non-sewing), then you will LOVE “Crafting with Flannel”!
Craft on!

I don’t have many patriotic decorations, a few, and a flag that we
always put outside……….so since the 4th is coming up next, maybe
I will be inspired to make something……….lol
