Summer is here and the Fourth of July is around the corner. Are you ready for hot dogs, burgers and the obligatory Miley Cyrus&#8217; &#8216;Party In The USA&#8217; blasting from speakers everywhere?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you want to get in on the themed action, you need to get proper attire in order. And when we say proper, we mean an outfit featuring the good ol&#8217; fashion combination of red, white and blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re given only three colors to work with and on a budget, you might feel like your creativity is being kicked to the curb. While red, white and blue may seem like the obvious color scheme for the Fourth of July, there are so many other ways to work those hues into your fit without breaking the bank.&nbsp;So here are 7 DIY outfits that won\u2019t cost you anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Old is Gold&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DIY-ing a patriotic outfit is not that hard. All you need is an old shirt, sweatshirt or a white dress. Trying out a tie-dye design is great on white clothes. Layout your fabric on a surface and tie in sections. Apply dye on those sections, wash and dry.&nbsp;This way you don\u2019t need to spend a fortune on buying your favorite tri-colored clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flag Your Shorts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a pair of new themed shorts? Don\u2019t look through stores, look in your closet. Find an old pair of jeans, cut them down to your desired length and dip-dye them in red, white and blue. Or you can make-do with a pair of white denim shorts (that you found in your closet), blue and red fabric dye and rubber gloves to protect your skin. When you\u2019re done dip-dyeing and drying, wash your shorts in water with detergent so it can set the dye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn Heads With a Party Hat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It won\u2019t take much of your time and money to make a standard DIY <a href=\"https:\/\/trybeem.com\/blog\/fourth-of-july-ideas-how-to-spend-on-a-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"242057\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4th of July<\/a> party hat. All you need is the top of a toilet paper roll, you can print your tri-color design on cards and glue it to your roll. Then turn heads not your wallets by making and wearing your very own patriotic hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pillowcase Dresses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This costume is super easy to make and inexpensive because all your raw material is in the house. If you find a blue or red pillowcase fabric and you know the basics of sewing then you can make the dress in two steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Design the halter neck and sew it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then add gathers to the base of the gown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s as simple and cheap as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tutu All the Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This lovely 4th of July outfit will not break the bank. If you\u2019re keen on getting your toddlers to join in the celebrations, get strips of white, blue and red tulle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then find an elastic band and wrap it around your toddler\u2019s waist. Then put the tulle in layers over the elastic from one end to the other end. And voila you have yourself a patriotic tutu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To \u201cTop\u201d It Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A crop top can rock with your jeans and still represent the 4th of July\u2014without spending a dime. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need, some red and blue fabric dye and star stickers. Cut your shirt to the length you want. Divide the piece of fabric into sections that look like the flag. Paste your star stickers then spray blue. Make your strips and spray red. There, your in-fashion DIY crop-top is as good as the ones you get in stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cIndependent\u201d Accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make those patriotic earrings and bracelets to go with your patriotic attire. Have an American coin? Then you are good to go with some earring wires and silver-plated jump rings. String the red and blue beads on your pins then make a loop and attach a ring. Put the coin on the ring. You now have your very own 4th of July earrings made with a quarter or a dime.&nbsp;You can make your Independence Day bracelet by arranging your beads on the headpins. Fit your headpins to the chain of the bracelet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/trybeem.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fourth-of-July-celebrations-4-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"fourth of July celebrations\" class=\"wp-image-242076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trybeem.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fourth-of-July-celebrations-4-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/trybeem.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fourth-of-July-celebrations-4-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/trybeem.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fourth-of-July-celebrations-4-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/trybeem.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fourth-of-July-celebrations-4-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/trybeem.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fourth-of-July-celebrations-4.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fourth of July is a wonderful time to celebrate the Independence of the United States with your family members and friends.
