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....
