4th Of July Decor Idea

Happy Summer Everyone!

I haven’t collected a lot of 4th of July decor items throughout my life.  I mainly decorate with item I already have that are red, white, and blue.  Throw a few flags in and I’m done decorating.  This year I thought I would take it a bit further and make this:

I had some old rulers I found at a thrift shop and formed them into a star and glued it together with E6000.

I purchased an 11″x14″ framed canvas from JoAnn’s for 50% off and used some pieces of fabric I already had.

I’ve been collecting Scrabble pieces so I pulled some of those out to spell “Freedom”.  You could use any type of alphabet including chipboard letters, blocks, or stickers and spell anything you want.

 I also tea dyed the fabric to look a little aged (I just like that look) and let it dry.  I wrapped the red polka dot fabric around the canvas and stapled it into place on the back.

Then I glued the blue denim and the burlap into place.

Then all I had to do was attach the flag and the tiles and it’s done.  It was so fun and easy to make.
