With the 4th of July right around the corner, this is the time of year when a lot of us start feeling a greater sense of patriotism, as we prepare to celebrate everything that is so wonderful about America with our family and friends.

And whether you plan on having a July 4th party or not, it's still nice to put up patriotic red, white & blue decorations to give your home a distinctively American feel. But that doesn't mean you have to adorn your entire house in flags, stars, and stripes. There are plenty of chic and modern decor items out there that will give you a great 4th of July look without being too over-the-top.

Take this beautiful handmade paper flower wreath, for example. It's the perfect patriotic symbol to jazz up your front door this summer, don't you think?
