You may want to use a rubber band around the lip of the jar to hold the bandannas in place while you cut and tie the ribbon into a bow.

Place the candles in the jar and fill it with pebbles to hold them in place. This inexpensive hoem décor craft is perfect for summer.

Umbrella Garland

Another inexpensive home décor craft for summer is an umbrella garland. For this summer craft you will need a box of cocktail umbrellas, scissors, and ribbon. Glue can be used to help keep the umbrellas in place as well. To add more detail to this summer home décor craft add flowers in between the umbrellas by gluing the flower buds directly to the ribbon.

Simply cut a piece of ribbon a few inches longer than you would like your garland to be. Then lay your ribbon out flat. Add the festive summer umbrellas to the ribbon by tying the ribbon in a knot around the handle of the umbrella. Open the umbrellas if you like before they are tied to the ribbon. This craft is quick and easy and can be a great addition to your summer home décor.

Nature Wreath

A simple and summer themed home décor decoration that can be made inexpensively is a shell wreath. For this summer craft you will need shells, moss, stones, twigs, a hot glue gun, hot glue sticks, a foam wreath, and any other fun nature items such as dried flowers, leaves, and acorns. It is also helpful to place newspaper on the work surface beforehand.

Start by gathering your materials. Place them on the work surface along with the wreath. Start decorating the summer wreath by using the bigger items. Add glue to them and push them into the foam. Remember to evenly disperse the bigger items. When they are all in place go back around the wreath filling in the sections with the smaller items. When the glue has cooled you can hang your summer wreath with the rest of your inexpensive home décor crafts.
