3. Illuminated Liberty Lanterns: Let Freedom Glow!

You’ll Need:
- Mason jars (because what’s more American than preserving stuff?)

- Pop in a tea light (or 2!). Congratulations, you’ve brought enlightenment to your decor!
4. All-American Cornhole Game: May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor
Get the 4th of July party started with this classic backyard game. It’s a great way to entertain guests and show off your DIY skills!
You’ll need:
- Plywood sheets
- 2×4 lumber (to give your game some backbone)
- Our carriage bolts, washers, and wing nuts (all on sale for 4th of July!)

Steps:
- Cut your plywood and 2x4s to size. (Measure twice, cut once, bandage fingers as needed.)
- Assemble the frame and attach the plywood top.
- Secure everything with our carriage bolts, washers, and wing nuts.
- Paint or wrap your design. Abstract expressionism is totally fine if your lines aren’t straight or you want to add in a random washer or design.
- Marvel at your creation. You’re basically the Thomas Jefferson of backyard games now.
5. Patriotic Pallet Planter: Make America Grow Again!
Turn an old pallet into a stars-and-stripes garden feature. It’s a great way to add some patriotic flair to your outdoor space and show off your green thumb.
Collect these materials:
- Wooden pallet (store-bought or “liberated” from behind the grocery store – we won’t tell)
- Red, white, and blue paint (let’s hope you have some left from the other projects)
- Landscaping fabric (to keep your soil from making a great escape)
- Staples and a staple gun (not to be confused with your office supplies)
- Various sizes of our screws (because one size doesn’t fit all in DIY or democracy)
- Flowers or small plants (red geraniums, white petunias, and blue lobelias, anyone?)
Steps:
- Paint your pallet in a flag design. Remember, 13 stripes and 50 stars… or thereabouts.
- Secure landscaping fabric to the back using staples. It’s like giving your pallet a raincoat.
- Attach small shelves inside the pallet using our screws. Think of it as building tiny apartments for your plants.
- Plant your red, white, and blue flowers. Congratulations, you’ve just created a living, breathing tribute to the nation!
