The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude. -Jeff Miller
Tribute
The first thing we need to start planning when it comes to Memorial Day is how to make the tribute. Most people include photos and memories of their loved ones who will be remembered on a separate table, but Julie from Redhead Can Decorate had a different idea. She posted on her Facebook asking for people to write the names of the loved ones they’d be honoring that year. Then, she wrote them all on a paper runner and used it on the table for Memorial Day, to celebrate the lives of those brave people and honor each name.
DIY Patriotic Windsock
Want a something red, white, and blue that’s a little subtle but still very patriotic? This idea is perfect! The DIY is very easy to make, you’ll only need some colorful ribbons and hot glue or loop them around a small embroidery hoop. You can also use:
- Ric rac
- Tulle
- Fabric strips
- Colorful strings
- And many others that you may have at home.
Memorial Day Cookie Platter
Everybody loves cookies, and this beautiful cookie platter is perfect to celebrate the day. The tray is perfect for a picnic or as a dessert after a BBQ, and you can basically use any recipe you prefer. Instead of making those flag cookies that require major skills, just prepare this simple platter and it will impress the guests. Get the full instructions over at The Bearfoot Baker!
Clothespin Wreath
A great way to welcome the guests and let them enter the spirit of the day is by making a beautiful red, white, and blue wreath. This beautiful one from the photo is made by Maymay, and she made a detailed video explaining how to do it. Check it out on youtube!

Memorial Day Table
Red, white, and blue is a must for every Memorial Day, so don’t be afraid to go all-out. Choose tableware that matches, with colorful cloths and napkins. The centerpiece also can be planned around those colors by putting red and white flowers in beautiful blue vases. Tiny flags can also make a good addition: add them to the flower arrangement!
Mason Jar Sand Craft
This patriotic craft is perfect to involve the kids in! They make for great table decoration pieces, and you could even use them as candleholders! To make them, you’ll only some clear mason jars and red, white, and blue sand. Pour each sand individually into the mason jar and make the combinations as you like. Place them on the dining table, the mantel, or in the living room!
