DIY Patriotic Beach Party Favor Boxes

This party favor boxes are perfect to make sure your 4th July celebration on a beach to be more festive. It’s easy to make, not many material needed and cheap diy as it is coming from upcycling tissue rolls. A small patriotic look souvenir for every guest is such a simple thank you for their attendance and spirit they bring to your party.

A few things you need to have to make this DIY Patriotic Beach Party Favor Boxes:

Tissue cores
Red and blue watercolor
Red and blue ribbons
Mini starfish
Glue

How to make the Red White Blue Party Favor Boxes with a touch of seaside:

Paint every tissue roll with red and blue watercolor by using a flat brush. Stroke it one slow move from top to bottom. Leave it dry.
Form each painted tissue core into a souvenir box.
Make 3 types of the party favor boxes by having a blue ribbon bow on first type, then red ribbon bow on second type and on the last type, glue a mini starfish on the middle of the favor box. Finished!
If you don’t have a starfish and you don’t intend to do a beach theme, let’s just have it tied in blue and red ribbon for the elegant patriotic look.

How fast it is to make these party favor boxes for your beachy patriotic party? It saves more of your time and money but you will get tons of comments on how you put your efforts to the party. Happy trying!

How To Make Red White Blue DIY Bottles With Coastal Touch

I have this idea of combining patriotic decoration with coastal touch. If you come to see, it has same colors theme, which are red, white and blue. When I think of the red white blue, I think of the flag with the stars; and when I think of seaside, I think of starfish. Isn’t that a great coincidence, points of connections between patriotic theme with coastal theme. Two themes come together and easy to make, interested? Let me share you the tutorial.

What to prepare to make this nautical project for 4th July decoration?

Used three glass bottles (small, medium or big is up to you, but remember to have the right proportion with the starfish), I used small sizes bottles
Small dried starfishes
Red, white and blue paint
Organic hemp rope
Glue

How to make Red White Blue DIY Bottles With Coastal Touch:

Clean and dry the bottles. Paint each with red, white and blue paint. Spray paint or acrylic paint will do. But it’s going to be a lot easier with spray paint and more equally in term of shade and covering the surface. Let it dry.
Glue the hemp rope to each bottle on the bottle’s mouth. Let it dry.
Glue the starfish each one to each bottle. Let it set. Finished!

Super fast, super easy, less money, great upcycling and you can use this nautical decorated painted bottles along summer, because not just it fits the 4th of July celebration, but also it’s easily goes with coastal theme. I hope my Red White Blue DIY Bottles With Coastal Touch inspiring and find the tutorial easy on how to make it.
