Summer is nearly upon us, and along with it comes the 4th of July—summer’s most celebrated holiday. Many residents are already planning barbecues, cookouts, and picnics to celebrate with friends and family. Whether hosting or contributing a dish to share, heighten the festivities with a colorful gift to signify this summer extravaganza!
Planning a unit food truck event or backyard BBQ? The stars and stripes can arrive featured on festive glass platters of ribs and bowls of potato salad or popcorn. Welcome guests with patriotic plant stakes leading up to your front door or strewn around your backyard garden. In our own SaddleBrooke Ranch (SBR) glass studio, you can design red, white, and blue flag centerpieces and colorful lantern panels to decorate your tables. As the sun sets, both stripes and stars come aglow with the light of a candle flickering inside a 4th of July glass candle holder.
Décor celebrating America’s independence never goes out of style. It can be used time and time again, bringing with it memories of gatherings with friends and family from years gone by.
