Easy American Flag Garden Stakes
Here's an easy one that combines my love of decorating the garden with the Summer holidays. These easy American flag plant stakes use picket fence scraps.
This project started with a couple of picket fence pieces.
They were scraps cut into small pieces.
I painted the top blue and the bottom white, then using one of my favorite American Flag stencils, that came in a set of 3,
I added the stars and stripes with red, white and blue craft paint. I dried my projects in front of the fan to hasten the drying time. I'm a little impatient that way.
When the paint was dry I rubbed on a coat of gel stain to give the flag an antiqued look. This step gives the flag stakes an antiqued look but you can use a clear spray sealer instead.
I added the stakes to the garden and these pretty little scrap-wood picket fence flags look beautiful.
