These stars in your backyard are a great way to physically show your guests where they should sit to keep everyone 6ft apart! Using spray chalk and a stencil, make stars in your backyard or driveway or open lotnbsp; that are all spaced 6ft apart.nbsp;

Supplies needed:

Cardboard

Marker

Scissors

Spray chalk

Tape Measure

How To: First take your large piece of cardboard and draw a large star on it. Cut out your star and use it as a stencil. Using your tape measure to space the stars 6ft apart, lay down the stencil, grab your spray chalk and create the perfect star on your grass!


Personal Picnic Baskets

Dollar store individual meal baskets are an inexpensive way to serve a delicious meal for your guests. Buffets are not en vogue this 4th of July but enjoying a meal with friends while adhering to social distance protocols is in style. Each small dollar store basket includes individually wrapped sandwiches from D’Angelos (you can use any local deli in your area!), individual condiments, a bag of chips, and Individual salads in a cup!

Just because the fireworks are cancelled doesn’t mean the memories can’t be equally as wonderful with these eco lanterns.nbsp; Memorial, spiritual and fun… Flying Lanterns are a great alternative and are a symbol of hope, dreams and opportunity! They are even eco friendly. You can look up local stores in your area to see if anyone sells them, or you can go on Amazon where there is a large selection! https://rb.gy/lj9vuo

The 4th of July Parade is an age old classic - and there is nothing more fun for kids than decorating their own bike / wagon to fit the USA theme! This is such an easy DIY project, you can use streamers, construction paper, flags, and trinkets from the party store. And craft stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby even have these decorations that are specifically made for bikes!
