Vintage 4th of July Mantel Decor

June 21, 2022

Decorating your mantel with vintage 4th of July decor doesn't have to be difficult or expensive -- to the contrary. Today I'm sharing how I created a vintage 4th of July mantel with some thrift store vases, books and inexpensive Dollar Tree American flags.

It's a classic 4th of July look for vintage decor lovers -- inexpensive thrift store milk glass vases filled with mini American flags.

You can add anything else you'd like to the mix, like this vintage red Union Leader Smoking Tobacco can and vintage thrift store books in red and blue.

I also threw in a USA bicycle "license plate" in red, white and blue from Dollar Tree. The large flags were 3 for $1.00 at Dollar tree, while the smaller flags in the tobacco can were from Target last year.

It's so easy to put together! You can also create a table centerpiece with these items, maybe even adding some red and white flowers into the mix. What else would you add?

If you don't ever run across thrift store milk glass vases in your neck of the woods, you can always buy some Anchor Hocking milk glass vases online. The same goes for seasonal red, blue and white faux flowers.

Well, that's it for today, friends!

I always love the small flags in groups in the bud vases and that tobacco tin on books is perfect for the 4th! Have a great week, Kathleen!
