Baseball is coined America’s favorite pastime for a reason, giving all the Americana feels. It’s a great outing for sunny summertime days. Baseball is recognized as an American sport and is cherished across the country, starting with Little League and woking itself all the way to the fan favorite Major League Teams.

Baseballs add another layer of American culture to patriotic decor in an understated way. All these ideas are perfect for the 4th of July or any summertime soiree really. Come on in and lets talk about how to use baseballs for patriotic decor

From a single ball strategically placed in a display to a cluster of balls showcased in unique vessels is an easy way to inject all the patriotic Americana vibes.

Simply pile a stack of baseballs in a bowl and you have an instant centerpiece. Don’t need a centerpiece? Use the bowl as a decor accent on a sideboard, coffee table, entry chest, etc. It’s easy to assemble and instantly provides patriotic charm.

Glass cloches create an air of mystic for whatever is enclosed inside. By displaying baseballs inside glass domes it immediately elevates the feeling of Americana nostalgia. The baseballs instantly become more interesting simply because they are enclosed under glass.

Tiered trays are fabulous decorating vehicles since they capitalize on vertical space, providing opportunity to display varied items. Galvanized star napkin rings, a felted red white and blue garland and a cluster of baseballs create a subtle patriotic display on a dining room sideboard. Easy, but on point.

Don’t have a bunch of baseballs laying around? One strategically placed baseball is all you need to infuse the Americana feels. A baseball paired with other patriotic decor creates an interesting and well rounded display.

If you are having guests over, it’s fun to create a table styling around America’s favorite pastime. Baseballs can be used for the centerpiece, and they can also be used at each place setting, adding patriotic interest and charm to the table setting.

A dough bowl is a great decorative piece to have for your home. It has decor super power, which can be piled high with so many different elements. It’s perfect for seasonal decor. Piled high with baseballs is super cozy and charming for patriotic decor.

Just like the glass cloches, apothecary jars are great pieces to showcase seasonal decor. Simply placing a collection inside apothecary jars creates a fun and festive atmosphere.

Baskets are charming on their own and can be used for so many different displays. A wire basket here stuffed with old baseballs and a mason jar full of flags is a great decor vignette for the 4th of July or any patriotic holiday.

If you are looking for more of a vintage look, baseballs can be readily found at thrifts, garage sales, estate liquidations and even Etsy. These are all good resources, but thrifts and garage sales will probably yield the most affordable options.
