Thought ya'll may enjoy this post again with July 4th coming up. My plans were to take ya'll along with me on a trail ride into our swamp. The rain put a "damper"..ha...on that idea. So how about a little rerun instead for today? Enjoy!
This is how I spent my weekend. Painting a flag after I saw this...
This flag is from Pottery Barn and has had a special place in my heart for some time now. I did make one
last year
but it was with a scrap piece of wood and was made in minutes. I wanted to make another and spend some more time making it perfectly un-perfect!
I started out with a piece of pine from Lowes.
I drew lines where needed...
I also cut out 50..yes FIFTY stars just so I could move them around and place them in perfectly un-perfect places.
After stencling each and every 50 yes fifty stars I painted blue around each of them.
Red stripes added..
I then sanded, distressed, and stained with my favorite stain for that perfectly un-perfect look!
I know I started getting busy and was too pooped to take down my wreath...Im lazy like that!
Here is my stained hand allowing you to have an idea how large this sweet flag is!
Now have some fun!

looks great. I think it would make a great addition to my hubby's man room in our new house. What kind of stain did u use?
ReplyDeleteplease sell these on etsy!!!
ReplyDeleteI am with Christy - I need to know what stain you used. I guess the size of the wood would also help, but I could make it my own size, I guess!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the old distressed look of it. A smaller version would look fab in my reading nook ;-).
