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.

| 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 never come across pallets either, so my plan has always been to buy cedar boards (more because of our climate than anything else) and make a large flag for the area between our two front windows.
ReplyDeleteI actually had the boards in hand (and at home), but at some point they were used for another project. Sigh. I need to buy some more and do my project.
Your flag looks very nice. :-)
