Red, White, & Blue Craft Ideas

Show your summer colors with these fun red, white, and blue craft ideas!

Today is the 4th of July and I’m all about the red, white, and blue! I used to think these colors were only for Independence Day, but I find I love them all summer long, from Memorial Day to Labor day! So I thought I’d show you some of my favorite red, white, and blue crafts so you can join in the fun, too. All of these can be created using a Cricut cutting machine, but you can also cut by hand with scissors. Here are my favorite red, white, and blue crafts you can make at home!

These fun red, white, and blue projects are great for summer-long decor, parties, and special holiday celebrations!

Giant Paper Rose in Red, White, & Blue

It's SO easy to make a paper flower in red, white, and blue simply by cutting the petals out in those cardstock colors!

Ice Cream Treat Box Gift Card Holders

What says summer more than ice cream treats? Make these fun little slide-ppen boxes in red, white, and blue, then add stars just for fun! These ice cream treat boxes also hold gift cards, perfect for summer gift-giving!

DIY Puzzle Lamp in Patriotic Colors

These IQ lamps (aka "puzzle lamps") are SO fun to make, and YES, you can do it on your Cricut! Just get plastic school folders in red, white, and blue, add a heat-free LED light, and you're all set for summer party decorations!

Paper Gazebo Luminary

Make my paper gazebo in red, white, and blue cardstock for a unique and fun summer decoration. You can put an LED light inside to turn it into a luminary, too!

Pinkie Promise Shirt in Layered Iron-On Vinyl

This sweet Pinkie Promise shirt is perfect for the summer! Cut it out in red, white, and blue for the summer festivities.

You can also turn nearly any of my paper crafts into red, white, and blue crafts simply by choosing specific paper colors. It’s actually a LOT of fun to see how things change simply by swapping up the colors! For example, you can make my Porch Signs in red, white, and blue, like this:
