Red, White and Blue Pickup Floral Arrangement
Everything here is from Dollar Tree. Place flowers in groups for a more intentional look.
I glued a couple of Jenga Blocks to the front of the vase, without them because of the tapering of the vase, the truck would not have been flat.
I glued dowels to the sign to hold it up. Larger signs require at least 2 so the sign won't turn. A small piece of felt over the glued area will help secure them.
USA Wreath with Wings.
(Can be interupted as either Eagle Wings or Wings From Fallen Soldiers)
This is a Dollar Tree metal wreath frame I wrapped with strips of DT red burlap. I painted it with Mod Podge deluted with water when I finished to prevent it from fraying. The wings are a plastic Dollar Tree pink flamingo, I cut it's head and neck off, cut it in half at the seam and painted. (Not my idea, but it's a good one.) Ribbon is all Dollar Tree.
Patriotic Drum
Everything here except felt is from Dollar Tree. This one is super easy and quick. Glue the wide DT ribbon around a round gift box. Glue a strip of blue felt along the bottom. Run a bead of glue all the way around the top of the box and place it on a piece of white/off white felt. Flip it upside down on a table and press down firmly. Cut of excess and glue a strip of blue felt around the brim. I didn't glue the top on, that way it can still be used as storage or a gift box. Drum Sticks are just painted dowels with wooden beads glued on the ends.
USA Planters
I added some ribbon and jute to these metal Dollar Tree Planters. Then simply added some artificial greenery and a DT accent
Firework Floral Arrangement
Brighter Colors and Glitz will give you a whole different look.
Americana Candle Holder
Glue a Dollar Tree hurricane lamp shaped glass vase to the bottom of a DT Metal planter. I used both hot glue and E6000. The planter comes with the jute wrapped around the top (which is now the bottom. I added DT ribbon and more jute to the planter. Add a candle and done. Simple and Inexpensive

This is the 1st step in making gnomes.
These are all Standing Sock Gnomes.

Uncle Sam Gnome Wall Hanging
This is a Dollar Tree stretched canvas. I added popsicle sticks for the brim and stripes for his hat. DT ribbon. Fur is from Amazon. Nose is a pantyhose/nylon. (See Sock Gnome Page for instructions)
Amazon Paid Link
I found this on Amazon you get 20 pcs of Faux Fur PLUS 40 pcs of the wooden balls. Lions Gnome was made from these. There are a couple of different options for the colors of the fur. The fur is nice and long. Depending on the size of your gnomes you will get SEVERAL out of every sheet. Several of the wooden balls are small but I like them for eyes and hands. It's a good way to try work with fur if you haven't tried it yet. Hobby Lobby's Faux Fur Sheets are $3 EACH x20, this is a pretty good deal.
God Bless America Wall Hanging
Dollar Tree star and gnome. I painted the star red and dry brush it with white. The "God Bless" was done on the Cricut white permanent vinyl. NOT Dollar Tree. Their vinyl is kind of a hit and miss thing, that gets annoying.
Flag Gnome Shelf Sitter
Dollar Tree napkin decoupaged on a Dollar Tree wooden plaque with a Dollar Tree gnome and Dollar Tree jute. ( Guess where I spend the majority of my shopping hours ? )

JPGs Printable Files
These Files are JPG Files. They are printable pictures, with a solid background. They are good for decoupage, sublimation or Memes but they are NOT SVGs, so they will not work in the Cricut as a cut file as is.
This was Mod Podged onto a Dollar Tree Stove Burner Cover and then I added some rope and beads

Battlefield Cross
" The rifle with fixed bayonet pointing into the ground symbolizes a fallen soldier in battle, 2. The boots represent the final march of the last battle, 3. The helmet and dog tags are items the soldier has no further need for, and lastly, 4. The price of freedom is visible here." - Wikipedia

Have everyone sit in a circle. The first person names something red, the next names something white, and the next something blue. Continue around the circle continuing the pattern. Each time someone repeats something already said or can't think of anything, they're out.

Gather strips of red, white and blue sponges and tie then in the middle with a piece of string. These can act as reusable water balloons and they look like fireworks
