Summer Party Ideas - Patriotic

Now is the perfect time to stock up on patriotic party supplies at the Dollar Tree. Not only can you decorate for the 4th  without spending a lot of money, but you can also find everything you need for a party from patriotic dinnerware, crafts, flags, and more.  

There are several different patterns  for their plates, napkins, cups, and tablecloths. If you like the more traditional red and white checked bbq accessories, they have that too. 

This Uncle Sam wreath was my favorite find this year.  I mean how cute it this for only $1.  I might change out the ribbon with a bigger one, but I will definitely be hanging this one on my door.  

They are several wooden wall signs that you can use as is, or use in other projects. 

These signs are almost 2 feet long, and make great welcome signs. 

One thing that the Dollar Tree seems to have every holiday and season is truck decor..  They change the colors and details, but they are always big sellers.   You can see many of the holiday truck items from last year in this post here.  

Another very popular item that the Dollar Tree has been bringing out every holiday this past year is gnomes.  This summer they are in the form of metal garden stakes.  I think my favorite is the red one holding the heart.  

They also have metal truck garden stakes, and wall signs. 

Their solar lights are a really good quality and a great price at only a dollar each.  These red, white and blue lights are perfect for the 4th.  There are many other styles to choose from as well if you want to use them all year. 

Here are some other party finds from this year, mini buckets, a inflatable cooler, and a patriotic headband. 

A recent find was this 11 foot welcome home sign.  It was huge, and would sell for several dollars more at other stores. 

Here are two other options for banner/garland to decorate your home.  The one on the left says Happy 4th of July, and the one on the right is a combo of stars and tassels.  

In this picture are just some of the tinsel garland, and mini signs that are available.  Believe it or not there are a lot more patriotic items that I do not have pictured in this post.   You can see more Dollar Tree items here on the Dollar Tree website.  If you do order anything from their website remember you don't have to pay shipping because they will ship your items for FREE to your local store.

How do you plan to celebrate the 4th of July this year?
