Rustic Patriotic Decor DIY

If you know anything about me, it’s that I love Christmas! However, did you know that Independence Day is a close 2nd? There is just something about being patriotic and the fireworks are my favorite. The symbolic meaning of “bombs bursting in air” and our National Anthem make me cry every time.
I never really incorporated patriotic decor until recently. I’m not really sure why. But I have a new found love for all things stars and stripes. I like the bright traditional colors, but it doesn’t blend with my primitive home decor as much as this rustic version. Which do you prefer?
This easy DIY project was inspired from my good friend Kaycee over at Roost and Restore. I added my own twist and couldn’t be more pleased with this rustic patriotic decor.
- Crafters Square wood planks measure approx 7.1″ x 2.8″ (these came in a 6 pack from dollar tree)
- Mixed patriotic fabric patterns of your choice
- Hot glue gun
- Jute twine
- 3 rustic metal stars (click here for similar ones from my Amazon store)
- Scissors
- I started by placing one fabric pattern on to the wood plank and hot gluing it on the back to secure it in place. I tried an adhesive spray to help it stay in place while I glued the back, but that isn’t really necessary. I was careful to line up the plaid fabric and to pull it tight for a smooth look.
