14 Fourth of July Decor Ideas, Because We'll Take Any Excuse To Shop On Etsy

The way many people care about their team in the World Cup, I care about Etsy. My Etsy obsession is no secret, and though this may read like a paid advertisement for the online marketplace, I assure it's only because my loyalty to handmade and adorable items runs deep.I've gathered quite an extensive Etsy collection over the years — from spoon rests to sweatshirts, I've got it all. Imagine my delight, then, when I discovered that the wonderful sellers of Etsy could also supply me with everything I need to throw an adorable and patriotic Fourth of July party! I've gathered up 14 of my favorite decor and style items to help you throw one too! Enjoy!
