This Patriotic Duct Tape Banner makes a frugal and festive accent for 4th of July celebrations.

How to Make a Patriotic Duct Tape Banner- This duct tape banner is inexpensive and easy to make. Attach it anywhere you want to add a patriotic touch!

For some reason, I really like to go all out when decorating for the 4th of July. However it is one of the holidays where it seems harder to find well made decoration to buy. For years I just used red, white, and blue streamers, but they are so fragile that I didn’t feel comfortable putting them up to far in advance less they were torn or tangled before the party even started. My friend shared her idea with me of using Duct tape and twine to create a sturdier banner.

This patriotic duct tape banner is so sturdy that it can even withstand inclement weather. You can make it ahead of time and hang it up a few days before the party and not have to worry about it falling apart. You can also fold it up after the 4th of July and store it for next year.

You can use any combination of colors or patterns of duct tape to make this banner. You can also use thin colored robe if you with instead of twine.

Instructions:

1. Cut the Jute rope or string to the length you want your banner to be. For a very long banner, you may want to divide it up into manageable sections, then attach the sections together after attaching the duct tape.

2. Cut the duct tape into 3 – 5 inch pieces. Fold the tape over the rope and back onto itself.

3. Continue this in a pattern. Feel free to cut the tape into shapes after you have it folded over the rope.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
