1. Make large bouquets of red, white, and blue balloons. Tie them together with ribbon streamers.

2. Cut each bandana into four squares, and then fold each square into a triangle and iron to get nice creases. Attach the triangles to a ribbon and hang. Photo Credit: HatterAndHareEvents.com

3. Tie red striped fabric around a chair. Tie blue fabric in a bow around red striped fabric for accent on the back of the chair. Photo Credit: TorranceGift Shop.com

4. Red, white, and blue sprinkles are not just for ice cream. Pour a layer of each color in a clear glass vase then place a candle inside for patriotic lighting. Photo Credit: Better-Decorating-Bible.com

5. Cover various size tin cans with red, white, and blue gift wrap or scrapbook paper. Place flowers, food, or utensils in them for a festive buffet table. Photo Credit: Martha Stewart

When she is not busy creating DIY decorating and crafts projects for her blog, In My Own Style, you can find Diane out thrifting for treasure or on her Pilates Reformer. On the weekends, Diane will be on the bike trail with her husband or wishing she was sitting on a sunny beach reading a good book. She has appeared on Lifetime Television many times demonstrating projects from her book and her work has been featured in national decorating publications. The best two DIY projects Diane has ever made are her two grown daughters who she lovingly refers to as # 1 & # 2.
