Fourth of July Rag Flag Window

So I'm a little bit of a procrastinator, but technically my project was finished just in time for the 4th of July, even if it was the morning of!
Using one of my old window frames, I measured and stapled in 13 jute strings across the back. Next, I cut several strips of red, white and blue fabric and tied it onto the string to create a US flag. I added 50 stars.. yep, all 50, and then created a cute banner to go across the top.
It may be last minute, but I think it turned out great! What do you think?
Here is the finished Rag Flag!
After measuring out 13 lines, I used a staple gun to string across 13 jute strings.
Next, I tied the blue strips onto the string and added 50 stars! Yep.. count them.. there are 50!
Then, I tied red and white fabric strips to the sting.
I created a cute banner to go across the top using my Silhouette machine.
My finished flag! Ready to welcome our 4th of July guests.

    I so love this. I love anything rag! I have made rag skirts for my girls, tons of blankets, etc. you name it....Just love the rustic look about it. Never in a million years did this pop into my head! Thanks for the awesome idea. Happy creating! :) I do have a question? Did you use an old window or did you just build one? Sorry, to lazy to click your link to look it up! Thanks!
