These 4th of July Rolling Pins are Perfect for Tiered Trays
Make some 4th of July rolling pins for a tiered tray or kitchen display. They couldn’t be easier (or cuter) and the same method can be made for TONS of holidays, seasons, and occasions. You will NOT need a cutting machine like a Cricut or Silhouette!
I picked up a pack of two different sizes and will say that if you have a small to medium sized tray, get the smaller ones. If you have a three tier or larger base (12 inches+), the longer rolling pins will stand out.

4th of July Rolling Pin
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I’m really working on my mid-year decor. I don’t know if it’s the heat or what but I get a wee bit lazy and usually just whip out a wreath for the front door and call it done.
This year, however, I’m building themes for some tiered trays and a built-in bookcase we have. Each of these are really easy to decorate and small projects like this really pack a big design punch.
This week, I’m working on the 4th of July tiered tray in the kitchen so it makes sense to whip up some patriotic mini rolling pins. I have a few other pieces publishing soon to round out my Independence Day decor and I can’t wait to share them with you.

Tips for Making This Farmhouse Rolling Pin Craft
- The BEST part about this craft is that you don’t need a ton of craft supplies – nothing fancy at all is needed. You can make a rolling pin tray set with only pins, paper, and some glue.
- I chose papers which were flag-adjacent – meaning, they didn’t have the American flag on them. I have a tiny flag I’m using in a miniature flower pot but there are flag papers.
- Make sure that you cover the entire rolling pin surface with ModPodge. This is important because if the paper lifts up, it’s likely to look ratty and get torn.
- While these Independence Day rolling pins are perfect for the 4th, remember that you can easily change out the scrapbook paper and have a whole new theme to put on your rolling pins.
- If you have a cutting machine like a Cricut or Silhouette, I have a ton of 4th of July SVG files and designs you can put on them. Use a minimalist paper design or paint the pins so the cut files will stand out.
- For a less natural look, use acrylic paint to color the ends of your July 4th rolling pins. If you do that, seal the paint to avoid chipping or color transfer.

4th of July Rolling Pins
These farmhouse patriotic rolling pins are going to look great tucked into a kitchen display or tiered tray.
Materials
- Mini Wood Rolling Pins
- Scrapbook Paper
- Mod Podge
Tools
- Pen
- Scissors
- Foam Paint Brush
- Ruler
Instructions
- Measure out the width of the rolling pin's center section. For the length, measure with a slight overlap to cover the wood. You can make a template from copy or scrap paper.
- Use the pen and draw the measurements on the back of the scrapbook paper.
- Cut each of the pieces of scrapbook paper out with clean edges using scissors or a paper trimmer.
- Take a foam brush and add the Mod Podge to the back of the paper.
- Tightly wrap the scrapbook paper on the rolling pin and then roll the paper around very slowly. It will stick quickly and thinner paper doesn't allow for a lot of movement. On each ends, add ModPodge to the paper to stick and seal to prevent lifting.
Notes
You can opt to disassemble the rolling pins or keep the pegs in.
A single bag of rolling pins has quite a few, so get creative with other holidays.
