4th of July flower arrangements
Fireworks were my inspiration for these fun 4th of July flower arrangements. I use white hydrangea, red tulips and a little bear grass to create a firework floral display. They take just a few minutes to create and will make your 4th of July table sparkle.
The secret to these beautiful arrangements
The secret to these beautiful arrangements is the blue Ball Jars and these rustic mason jar frogs. I have been having a lot of fun with these jars. They make flower arranging so simple and are perfect for low arrangements that your guests can see over when seated at the table.
What you need
Four four arrangements you will need:
- 4 Blue ball jars
- 4 Rustic mason jar frogs
- 20 red tulips
- 6 stems white hydrangea
- 1 small bunch of bear grass - about 40 blades

Instructions
Fill the ball jars up with water and screw on the frog lids. Trim the flowers so they are about 10-12" long, with each flower a slightly different length. Put three stems of the hydrangea each in two of the jars, arranging so they fill out the jar. Put 10 tulips each of two jars, arranging so they fill out the jar. Cut the bear grass down to about 16 to 20," with each a slightly different length. Intersperse the bear grass between all four of the jars.
You will find these jars to be really wonderful when you want to make quick and economic flower arrangements for your table. Check out these sunflower arrangements that I made with $6 worth of sunflowers!
If you are wondering what that yummy salad is, it is one of my very favorite and unbelievably easy summer dishes - Watermelon, tomato and strawberry salad with burrata.
If blue is not your color
The mason jars also come in a very pretty green.
