For Americans, the summers and especially the fourth of July are a day to celebrate, decorate and be creative. This day we express our love and take part in city parades, enjoy backyard barbecues, night fireworks, and enjoy our freedom with our loved ones. The happiness of this event comes with the built-in color palette of red, blue, and white, where all the different colors symbolize justice, purity, and courage, respectively.
We invent and play with different shapes and sizes. We try to recreate the country’s flag by using other materials and fabrics. It doesn’t matter how creative or artistic you get. The stars and the recognizable stripes will keep you accurate to the theme. Your creativity is the one that makes the fourth of July decorations so awesome. Keep it unique and simple, and this is the style we need precisely to keep our day going.
