Directions

A great bonus of DIY decorations is that you can mix and match ideas to fit your space and style. Packs of supplies include 36 pieces, so you'll easily have enough accents, pockets, and labels to set multiple tables for guests, food and beverages, party favors, and more!

• Place settings: Welcome everyone and bring FUN to place settings with Terrific Labels™. To create cute place markers, simply fold the tags in half, leaving the paper backing on. Write guest names and add star stickers for extra flair. Set the tented name tags out to let everyone know they have a spot at your table. Tip: Create a set of tags to label food when serving banquet-style.

• Tableware: Dress up tableware basics and make it easy for guests to find silverware and napkins by conveniently bundling items in Terrific Pockets™. Add star accents and stickers to the front of each pocket to keep your decoration theme going. Place one at each place setting or set them all in a basket for each guest to help themselves. Pockets also work great for handing out party favors, too!

• Table runner: Turn a basic tablecloth into a terrific display with red, white, and blue trimmers. Easily layer and arrange the trimmer scallops to give your table the feel of a waving flag. Use double-stick tape to hold your trimmers together.

• Centerpiece: Make a star-filled centerpiece that's as eye-catching, bright, and fun as fireworks. Stick accents back-to-back on chenille stems. We added pops of glitter glue, sequins, and stickers to the accents too. Arrange the stars at various heights and angles to give your centerpiece lots of interest. Repurpose a mason jar to use as the vase and tie on any other ribbons or flair you'd like.

Fill any gathering with patriotic pride, add pomp to your July 4th party, and have a blast showing off your star-spangled style with USA-made products!
