Here are some crafts you can do:

Patriotic Candle for Tabletops

This is easy and a quick do-it-yourself project. You need candles with corresponding number of storage glasses, table napkins with patriotic design, ribbons and regular or sparkle candles. First, cut the table napkin to fit the diameter of the glass candles. Then, apply a decent amount of Mod Podge on the glass candle where you will spread out the patriotic designed table napkin. Let it dry for at least 10 minutes and wrap the glass candle with ribbons in the center. You can place it at the center table of anywhere you think it fits.

Star Spangled Pinwheels for Outdoor Garden or Door Entrance

For this craft, you need to have an independence day wrapping paper. It should be printed with clear red, white and blue colors. Also, take hold of glue, stapler, clear tape, long stick and a pushpin. Start by cutting the wrapping paper into two 5-inch squares. You can also cut it according to your desired size, if you want.  Glue both papers together. Next, fold half diagonally on opposite sides. This will provide guides for the next step. Cut 3-inch long from the corners toward the center using the guides. Fold alternately from each point to the center. Use clear tape to hold it down and staple. Attached the paper wheel to the stick using pushpin. You may now place it on your door or as an ornament in your garden.
