These centerpieces are as easy as rounding up some balls and placing them in a glass container! I had a stash of multi-colored superballs and had picked up a crate of baseballs and softballs during curbside clean-up days this spring {“Curbside Junking Adventures and Tips”}. I added a few more simple festive touches, and voila’…these easy centerpieces are ready for the party!

(Did you catch the irony of balls in a Ball jar;)?

After adding a couple of store-bought wood candles (that could honestly be made yourself)  to the superball jar, I got to work figuring out how I could get my stash of old baseballs to fit into an IKEA spaghetti jar I had laying around; the mouth of the container was a little small.

I grabbed a rubber mallet from the garage and set the spaghetti jar on the soft grass and did a little tapping…

It worked!

I decided to add a couple of flags and some blades of fake grass to finish off the cuteness.

Perfect Americana decor, don’t you think? Vintage inspired, of course;)

I decided to add some Fourth of July festiveness to my porch stove, while I was in the decorating mood…

Years ago I came up with the idea to wrap an old ski rope around the ugly wires of some accent lighting. The lighted stars will be fun at night on the porch. The retro red, white and blue ski rope is perfect. Don’t pass these up if you see them at a sale!

I had this old camping stool in my stash too. I had sewed a new fabric top for it and stapled it to the frame I had dyed blue with RIT dye. It’s definitely not sturdy to sit on, but it’s a great accent piece and would be cute on a buffet.

Mr. Fix-it and I built these “License Plate Trugs” with 2 old license plates. I love their graphic punch, and they’re a fun picnic serving piece for plates and utensils. They could also be planted up nicely with succulents.

Hope these ideas help you get your red, white and blue on! It’s so fun to decorate in a whole new way for the summer months; less serious, more casual styling is on the menu! Grab some simple materials and whip yourself up some Fourth of July tabletop ideas!
