I have been getting a few 4th of July items out, here is what I have done so far... This flag was inspired over 7 years ago by a Pottery Barn catalog, and do you know they still use the giant flag display {it's in my current catalog} Anyway, I made mine using yard sticks! Normally it lives in my boys room, but I moved it to the green wall in the family room above the couch. I actually like it against the green {wasn't sure I would}!
I also came across this tutorial and had to make a bunting of my own!
Here is the mantel {so far} Notice my new lamp, lights on...
...lights off
Do you notice my garland invention?? I bought president flash cards from the dollar section at Target, strung up two rows of twine, clipped them on with mini clothespins!LOVE it!
Oh this is so cute....love the president banner...I want me some flash cards like that....did you get them this year? I am such a history buff and I collect all sorts of history stuff....Love the flag also made out of yardsticks. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping someone would post some 4th of July soon. I hope to get started with some today. Yours looks great, and still love the Flag. Wonder where I can find those wooden yarsticks cheap? Any ideas? Jackie

The flag was lots of fun to make, I vividly remember that day!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeleteFunny you should ask, because I asked a fellow blogger where she got hers last year. Sarah, from Sadie Olive, said she got hers from Border's Bookstore. However, I checked all of them in my neck of the woods...Nada. So I ended up finding mine a an unconventional Arts Supply Store near the University here. Good luck on your hunt. Let me know what you find. : )
Great use of the flash cards!
ReplyDeleteVery festive. Love the big flag. Mimi
