diy stars and stripes sign
I think one of the most underrated holidays for decorating is Memorial Day and 4th of July. I LOVE making anything that involves stars and stripes, and red white & blue! Celebrate your independence this year with some ADORABLE hand-made patriotic crafts... ESPECIALLY this one!
Materials
- any type of board- I used a scrap piece of wood I had on hand!
- 3 mini canvases
- striped fabric
- wooden stars
- red & blue paint
- mod podge
- hot glue gun
- scissors
Instructions
The thing that makes this sign look more expensive then it actually is, is the LAYERING! These mini canvases were the PERFECT thing to layer on this sign. I found mine at Dollar Tree, but you can get them literally anywhere! Go ahead and lay out your striped fabric (I chose black and white, of course) and trace out your canvases to cut. - Once you cut out your fabric pieces, simply mod podge them onto each canvas!
- Don't forget to sand the edges! I used an old sanding block that I found at a home improvement store to do this. It helps with making the edges not look so "choppy" and more "finished"!
- Hot glue the mini canvases onto your board!
- Up next... paint your stars! These little wooden stars came from Dollar Tree. I decided to go with the colors "bright red" and "admiral blue" from Apple Barrel paints!
- Pull out your sanding block one more time, and sand down your stars just a tad!
- Hot glue your stars onto the top of each canvas, and YOU'RE DONE!!!
Not only can you display this sign horizontal.... but it looks good verticle, too!!! I truly am so happy with the outcome of this sign, and can't wait to mix it in to my patriotic decor this summer!
