I am feeling very patriotic lately. I unintentionally, dressed my self and all three boys in red, white and blue the other day and then went out in public before I realized how goofy we might of looked. I also have my bunting hanging on the front porch. No doubt we are proud to be an American!
I got a bug in me to make an American flag I saw on Pinterest this past weekend and got right to it.
Gate really wanted to help. I thought it was a good idea at first until he started stepping in the paint and we now have footprints painted on our deck.
The inspiration flag I originally found was done on boards from pallets but after my last pallet project I was feeling a little to lazy to pull boards off a pallet. So, I went the quick and clean way and bought some cheap cedar pickets at The Home Depot and saved my self the hassle. I screwed the boards all together, taped of the lines and started painting. I love it! I did my vexillology (new word I learned in making my flag, means study of flags), so the flag is as close to accurate as I could get it, 50 stars and 13 stripes.
