You can get creative for under $2 per person this Fourth of July with these awesome craft kits. Whether you have a Celebrate America camp theme, need an activity for a 4th of July barbecue, or you have older residents that are looking to show off their Patriotism. We handpicked 9 crafts for you below that are all equally awesome, but each one offers something different depending on your audience and what you want to accomplish.
Let your inner Fourth of July spirit shine here! Crafters can draw fireworks, stars and stripes, a full flag, or anything they feel Independence Day represents to them on this sun blocking DIY visor. (Encourage adding glitter if you have some in your supply area)

A craft and game in one? We love this! After the design has dried, go for a personal best on how many times in a row you can catch the ball in the cone.

This is the perfect craft to display images from your Fourth of July cookout, or even to gift to a family member for them to display their favorite pictures in.

This craft is so fun because there are so many different design options with the wood pieces in the craft kit. Then there are so many uses. You can wear it to display your pride in your country or even as an accent or accessory on a picnic basket, back pack, flower pot, wreath, etc.

Use red and blue sand to make a patriotic decoration! You can choose from a few types of sand art bottles and sand packs, or use this Sand Art Necklace Craft Kit that comes with everything you need and a shooting star themed bottle!

We have a few fun options for decorating hats! These Color-Me™ Pop-Up Paper Hats are super fun for kids! Use markers to color, plus you can add stickers, gems, or foam shapes.

Decorate these blank mini flags for the 4th of July! The flags come assembled with 10-1/2”L wooden staffs. Use paint and brushes to color. Flags are made of 100% cotton.
