One more pillow....

I started this silly flag pillow a year ago and I was determined to finish it this year.  So on the 10th of July I got it done....yeah, I am glad that Ut celebrates all of the month...

It is made from 2 new mens XXL t-shirts of each color cut into 3x 2 in strips and sewn onto canvas.

The star field is rolled roses, glued on...

Now I am all ready for NEXT YEARS 4th!!

New Fourth Stuff

I wanted to make a pallet flag like the ones I had seen on Pinterest...but I couldn't find a pallet so I opted and bought these plain pine planks at Home Depot for about 11 bucks.  And with the number of planks in the bunch, I was able to make two... one for me and one for  my daughters eventual apartment.

You have to pick through them and find the less crooked ones...

I painted them with red and white stripes

 I glued them down on 3 vertical planks that I had spaced an inch apart

I painted the star field a sky blue

I stenciled on the stars and then painted a brown antique over all and quickly wiped it off.

I fit in real nice with the whole scene....
