Creative Labor Day Décor

Get crafting and tap into your creative side with these excellent décor and outdoor design ideas.

  • It’s time to upcycle! Use old glass vases or mason jars to create starry candle holders. Place star-shaped stickers on the outside of a clear vase or mason jar and spray paint the vase with a color of your choosing. Once the paint has dried, remove the stickers and place a candle in the center of the vase. The light will shine through the stars and create a beautiful ambiance.
  • Check out these red, white, and blue decorating ideas to make your home super stylish.
  • Transform old tin cans into stylish decorative vases. Paint the outside of the cans or jars with red and blue stripes, and once it dries, you can glue white stars onto the outside. Use the cans as centerpieces and place flowers or utensils in them.
  • Turn your balcony into an outdoor oasis using these tips and tricks.
  • Create red, white, and blue band sand candles that are perfect for a patriotic centerpiece.
