Patriotic Banner



With the Fourth of July coming up soon I wanted to make a banner for my mantle.  I had ordered blank canvas flags from Decor Steals awhile back and pulled them out to make my banner.  The flags are off-white  and I wanted them white so I painted them with white chalk paint.  While the paint was drying I printed out a graphic from Graphicsfairy.com (thegraphicsfairy.com ).  To get the graphic onto the canvas I printed it on TAP paper and ironed it on to the canvas flag.  I used Frog Tape to create the red stripes and then stamped USA onto the canvas with blue chalk paint.  This banner is simple and easy to make and I now have it hanging from my mantle. 




I love the rough and stringy edges-I call it character! 

Not perfect lines and edges is what I like

    1. Thanks Sharon-I like it and a local dealer wanted it and took it in to her shop for a decoration since we were going to be gone for the 4th and it sold in an hour! It was featured on Graphic fairy too!

  2. Hi… by the look of your website I gather that you are a professional. Can you help me make money, blogging? I have a few sample articles. Can I send it to you for your review? I have already begun posting my skills on sites like www.zopthemes.com, buy 1000 youtube subscribers,freelance copywriting jobs. Quite a number of buyers have responded. I like to post my blogs on other marketplaces too. Do you have any suggestions?
