Barn Wood Colonial Flag

(IC: homeowner)
We began with old barn wood! SO many things that can be created with wood, screws, sweat and paint!
We took some old wood removed from a barn and cut the pieces in three feet lengths. (Any size will work). We then laid out enough boards to make a two foot width thus it became a 2' X 3' platform. We then screwed all the boards onto three support boards on the back to give it support and hold it together.
Then I sanded an sanded! Lots of splinters from years in the weather!
Basically, we evenly divided the boards to make 13 stripes and then drew the lines. I used frog tape and blocked off each area to paint!
The stars were another deal!! While at "Joanne's Fabric" store this past week, I came across some cute balsam wood stars in three different sizes! I had already thought painting stars would be difficult so, viola, dilemma solved!
I then just proceeded to tape and paint carefully until the flag was complete!
Enjoyed the project?
