4th of July DIY decorations - display for under $10!

I thought today I would share my 4th of July shelf.  The whole thing cost me about $10 to do!  You have to love that!

Last week when I was planning out my blog posts I was thinking I would show the picture and then do a tutorial on how to do the crafts, but honestly they are so easy they don't justify a tutorial!

 Here is my breakdow of the shelf:

Flags in milk glass vase.  I got the flags from the dollar bins from Target.  $2

Milk glass vase - $1 from the thrift store

Pledge subway art - free to dowload from Eighteen25.  I print mine at Office Max (12x18 I believe is the largest size you can go for cheap!) on card stock for about $1.50. 

Wreath - used a straw wreath base $1.99 already had the yarn!  It's really simple project to do - I suggest doing it while watching a movie because honestly, it's not the most exciting craft to do! :) I cut my stars out of felt - I was even too lazy to hot glue my stars on. I just kind of stuck them on there!

Here are some links to others that have made the wreath:
The Creative Imperative
One Crafty Mama
God bless America print is from Landee See Landee Do.  Again I printed it from Office Max - this one was a 5 by 7 print on cardstock for a whole 75 cents.

Flag painted on burlap.  I just spray painted an old frame blue. Then simply, you guessed it, painted the flag.

I do recommend putting down a piece of wax paper under the burlap so the paint doesn't seep through. 

The rag garland.  I love.  Are you ready for this super hard craft?  Pick out your fabric.  I used 6 different kinds.  Cut into strips.  Then cut a piece of yarn the length you want your garland to be.  Simply tie the strips of fabric onto the yarn.  Yes.  That's it.  You just tie it on.  Simple. 

I really like our patriotic display.  I like the fact that it was quick, easy and didn't cost much even more!  How do you decorate for the 4th of July?
