Independence Day is soon upon us, and for those of us here in the United States, there is plenty to celebrate. We’ve made it easy to show your colors with AtmosFX’s Celebrations America Decoration — perfect for celebrating the Fourth.
But it is not just that. All the holidays that celebrate this nation, or celebrates those who have served to protect it and those who have toiled to make it what it is today – deserve to be honored. That means not just Independence Day, but Election Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Flag Day and Labor Day are all perfect for a jubilant display through the projection of Celebrations America.
But there’s no reason to stop there. With the Olympic Games set to take place in Paris this summer, what better way to support Team USA?
And while it is always a joy to lift up our national athletes, if there is anything the past several years have taught us, it is that our essential workers – nurses, firefighters, teachers, etcetera – deserve just as much praise. And Celebrations America is made to do exactly that, too.
All to say, we know that Celebrations America and its three unique individual decorations (“Stars & Stripes,” “Patriotic Fireworks” and “Waving Flag”) are a incredibly versatile decorations with countless ways to use it. And given that this decoration pairs with AtmosFX’s Celebrations Party Time Decoration Collection, you have even more options. And we have some ideas for you.
Windows: Combined with Window Projection Material, projecting on windows is one of the most common ways to display any AtmosFX Decoration. Because windows are often big and in the front of your house (as well as allowing you to keep your projector safe and dry inside your house), it is a great technique to let your neighborhood know you are proud to celebrate Independence Day or more. If you are hosting a picnic, you’ll set exactly the right tone when your guests arrive. And if you have a family member in the armed services returning home from active duty, what better way to show your appreciation and provide a spectacular homecoming?!
Surfaces: The only thing easier than projecting on a window is doing so on a surface – after all, you don’t need any kind of projection material to do so! For those hosting holiday picnics and parties, a wall in your home near the buffet table, or maybe a patio wall near the barbecue, can be instantly turned into a patriotic decoration. Place your projector up high and shine down onto a white tablecloth – you’ll instantly have a dynamic red-white-and-blue table setting.
Really Big Surfaces: But don’t stop there. For those who have powerful projectors, point it towards garage doors, sides of houses, water towers, or any large object is perfect for display. Think of it as a never-ending supply of digital fireworks!
Hollusion Displays: Taking the idea of digital fireworks one step further, clever decorators can experiment using Hollusion Projection Material. Technically, Celebrations America doesn’t have a “Hollusion Mode,” but that doesn’t mean you cannot successfully create a captivating Hollusion. During dusk or later, we’ve seen Hollusion Projection Material strung high on a rooftop or amongst tree branches, and the fireworks projected directly onto it. It makes for a great artificial fireworks display before the real one!
TVs and Monitors: While it might not be as high-profile as projecting on the side of a house, remember that Celebrations America can also be played on a TV or monitor. It’s a handy way to easily show your colors when the TV is not in use. Kids love it too – as they take a break from the picnic festivities they can pop down and watch the display.
Decorating Discs: Lastly, for those who have enjoyed experimenting with AtmosFX’s Decorating Disc, you’ll be pleased to know that Celebrations America has a circular projection mode optimized for it, for both front and rear projection. The circular screen makes for a great decorative accent that can be placed anywhere!
This is just a start – we know good ol’ American ingenuity will kick-in and there will be countless new ways to use Celebrations America Decoration that we’ve never even thought of! No matter how you use it, it is certain to be an outstanding way to celebrate the United States and its people!
