Labor
Day,
originated to honor the contributions of the working man/woman to our country, signals
the end of a much deserved summer, especially if you live in the Midwest! Although we hate to see summer end, that
means the 2014 holiday season is just around the corner, and that makes us very
happy! But let’s not get ahead of
ourselves. We have got some fabulous ideas for the holiday at hand!
The easiest, most obvious Labor Day décor would be red,
white, and blue anything! You can
combine ornaments and lights in so many different ways to create some fabulous
décor. From centerpieces to wreaths to
trees, these standby’s have been used (and blogged about) until the cows come
home. Create something unique to you and
share it with us!
Our new picks would make fabulous (and simple) Labor Day
décor. Toss some red, white, and blue
together to create a bouquet, throw them into a vase to create a centerpiece,
layer them into a shadowbox, these possibilities are numerous.
A great lighting idea would be a definite DIY
project! Using tin cans, you can drill
holes in shapes of U.S.A. or stars, then spray paint red, white, and blue. Drill a hole in the bottom of the can large
enough for a bulb (whichever bulb size you choose), and secure with liquid
silicone adhesive. This would provide
great patriotism and décor at the same time.
With the new lanterns we’re introducing this year, you
can create a lighting extravaganza for your Labor Day parties without near as
much work as the last idea!! Using a
commercial grade string light with retrofit (either C7,
C9, or G50) bulbs, alternate blue bulb, white bulb (with a white
lantern), then white bulb (with a red lantern).
You could also simply alternate red, white, and blue bulbs, but lanterns
just scream ‘PARTY’, don’t you think? Hang
these strings all around the deck to add additional décor to your party and
provide ample lighting well into the evening; because no one wants summer to
end!
How have you utilized our products in the past to
