Easy Framed Flag

Today I just wanted to share a super easy and cheap forth of July 

Decor item that is perfect for a mantel, shelf, table or in my case 

on the top of a TV stand

Framed Flag

 What you will NEED:

- Frame (I got mine at the dollar store)

-Blue Craft Paint 

-Tacky glue or hot gllue

-Red and White striped fabric (I had it on hand)

-White Craft paint

-Wood stars (I had some left over from the packet

I got for the 4th of July Wreath I made)

-sand paper

Since I had all of this on hand it was a FREE project!

Gotta love FREE right :)

What I did:

The first thing I did was paint the white frame blue

I did two coats letting it dry an hour in between 

Once it was all dry I sanded the edges a little bit

exposing some of the white underneath

While the paint was drying I tacky glued the red and white

fabric to the cardboard that came in the frame 

Once it is all glued it will look something like this

Make sure to glue it to the back so the front is all smooth

and make sure the lines are going horizontally

Next paint 3 wood stars white, once they are dry 

sand the edges and then hot glue them to the frame

Last step put your glass, fabric covered cardboard and backing

all back together and viola 

You have you super easy Framed Flag

Perfect for memorial day, the 4th of July, the 24th (if you live in Utah)

 and Labor day

It will be up all summer to celebrate 

the gratitude my family has for our country

It has been fun decorating for a the forth this year

especially on a thrifty budget
