Holiday Decorating Tips With American-Owned Products
Decorating for the holidays is sure to get everyone in a festive mood, and American-made home décor can make the holidays happier than ever before. Stores are stocked and loaded with lights, signs, and inflatables that are sure to generate joy in kids and adults alike.
It’s just as crucial as gift-giving and delicious holiday baking. Cakes, pies, and cookies galore—but doesn’t it feel sweeter when standing under some beautiful garland?
Decorating reminds us of happier times and allows us to reflect on our traditions. There will always be bits and pieces of our decor that remind us of our family, friends, and loved ones, whether it was a gift or purchased together.
American-made products are sure to make your season brighter. Decorate your home space by standing firm with our troops and hard-working Americans. Supporting local businesses is a great way to show what you stand for.
Etsy is fantastic for small American shops and wonderful handmade gifts. It allows us to support the American dream and reminds us of our freedom in this great country. Anyone can be a creator with a little hard work and dedication!
Celebrate Joy The American Way
Shopping for American-made goods can be an issue if you’re unsure where to look. With many of our decorations for every holiday being made overseas, it’s harder to feel as festive.
Please don’t put your cheer on the back-burner this year–The American List prides itself on finding the perfect companies that manufacture goods right here in the USA so you can celebrate without worry! We know what truly matters to your family, and we’re here to help you feel the holiday cheer.

Patriot Wood
Art and Shawna have a consistent 5.0-star rating on their Etsy shop, Patriot Wood, and it’s easy for us to see why. Together, they’ve proven that anything representing America can be carved out of wood and displayed beautifully on a wall. Are you tempted yet?
They make state flags, military flags, and other wooden wall art that showcases American heroes, such as George Washington, Frederick Douglass, and Abraham Lincoln. Powerful words that define the United States of America, such as revolution, freedom, independence, and equality, appear on a few different pieces that Patriot Wood offers.
Their most stunning piece is a multilayered wooden portrait of the Statue of Liberty. It’s a beautiful arrangement of red, white, and blue on a black and white background, tied together with the word “LIBERTY” underneath in bold letters. The beautiful Americana color palette works so well with the stark black lettering for the word liberty. We can’t help but imagine what it’ll look like on our walls!
All pieces of wood are cut by hand and stacked to create an impressive 3D finish. Patriot Wood uses cedar and maple to create this limited-edition wall art. If you’re ready to hang a piece of American history in your home, you’d better hurry to the checkout—Art and Shawna are only making 1776 copies of this 45” x 31” portrait!
THE LEGACY FLAG
Nicholas Naccarato is another woodworking American who earned his star seller badge on Etsy! His shop is all about hand-carved flags, whether state or military support. He runs THE LEGACY FLAG out of South Lake Tahoe, California.
Perfectly rustic and charred to perfection, his California state wooden flag is the perfect image of Americana. Each flag only comes in a 60” x 32” wall hanging, but they’re each made to order.
Did you know Texas inspired the red star on the California state flag? It shows that no matter what state you’re from, we’re all Americans and can all find common ground. American art like this reminds us to come together—no matter what state we’re from, we all bleed red, white, and blue!
And with decor like this, you’re not only the country but a hard-working American. You’re boosting productivity here on local soil when you shop for American-made goods.
THE LEGACY FLAG has plenty of wall decor for proud Americans. Still, this flag will look perfect in your holiday entryway if you’re a fan of distressed art and undeniable patriotism!
