DIY American Flag Pallet Style Sign



Today I'm sharing a cute (and totally easy) American Flag craft that's perfect for your front porch. It's easy, fun and totally festive for 4th of July!

What you'll need:
  • 1 - 1x2 Wood Piece 
  • Red Paint
  • Blue Paint
  • White Paint
  • 0.75 inch Vinyl Stars (Optional) 
  •  12 - 1 1/4 inch screws
Cut 6 -  16 inch pieces and 2 - 9 1/2 inch pieces (these will be for the back.)

Paint your pieces accordingly, use the picture above for reference if you need. Paint BEFORE putting together so that the painting is easier and you don't have to try to paint in between the little cracks. I put mine together first and that was an oopsy! Let paint dry completely and then attach your vinyl stars if you have them. If you don't have vinyl stars, you can paint them on now and let dry.

Once dry, lay your 16 inch pieces down about 1/4 inch apart this will give it the pallet effect. Attach your 2 - 9 1/2 inch pieces to the back to keep your flag together. Like so:


Your flag is all ready to adore! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine!
