DIY: 4th of July Tablescape

June 30, 2011 by Laura

Yesterday, I showed you the DIY tablecloth I made for our 4th of July tablescape! Today I’ll show you how I pulled it all together and made a DIY centerpiece to celebrate this great weekend.

This was my inspiration photo, courtesy of Pinterest. I loved the simplicity of the bottles with candles! I definitely wanted to recreate this feeling without spending a lot of money.

I started with 9 beer bottles, four taper candles (not pictured) and these flag cupcake toppers and sparkle picks from Hobby Lobby.

The bottles were brown so I spray painted them white to lighten them up. A clear bottle would have been ideal but I was working with what we had! The look on Conner’s face when I asked him not to throw away the bottle when he was finished drinking was priceless! The labels wiped off really easily after they had been soaked in hot, soapy water for about 30 minutes.

I started with the cupcake topper flags. They rest perfectly in between the white napkins and textured napkin rings! The white napkins were a steal of a deal – 12 for $9.99 from Bed, Bath & Beyond before I used a 20% off coupon. The napkin rings were a wedding present from Williams-Sonoma. I wanted just a touch of Americana on the table without being too corny or cheesy and think this small gesture is perfect.

Here is a look at the centerpiece! I love how the candles fit perfectly in the neck of the bottle and the sparkly picks add some fun and festive zest to the table. I ended up using several in one bottle because they were so skinny and thin. I like the bigger affect of several grouped together.

Here is another look at the table with the DIY tablecloth and DIY centerpiece. It is exactly what I was going for and I’m so pleased with the results! It was easy, quick and cheap – just what I wanted!

The little American flags gives each guest his/her own taste of the 4th and the candles and sparkle in the middle group everyone together. This look might not be for everyone, but I love it and am ready to serve up some barbecue! Happy 4th of July!

    […] two bottles I use to hold my bracelets are the same ones I used for our 4th of July tablescape last year. Yup, they are just beer bottles spray painted white. White and spray paint can make anything […]
