Now that we are getting closer to the end of May, it means that is Summertime! And nothing says summer like Flags! Today I'm going to share a tutorial for making a Framed Flag to use in your summer home decor!
How to Make Framed Flag Art
As always, the first thing to do is gather your supplies. For this project you will need:
Directions for Making Framed Flag Artwork
First thing you need is a frame. I like how the fabric flag fit into a 5 x 7 sized frame. I pulled a thrifted frame from my extensive stash. When thrifting, I always look for frames in good condition and add them to my collection.
Cut a piece of white cardstock to the size of the frame. I like using a paper cutter like this, because it makes measuring while cutting so much easier.
Grab a little flag. They are readily available at just about any store this time of year. If you want your flag to look old and vintage, you can tea stain it.
Remove flag from the stick by taking the staples off. You may need to trim the flag where the fabric of the flag attached to the stick. If your flag is wrinkled, you also may need to run a clothes iron over it.
Run double sided tape along the back of the edges of the fabric flag and then attach it to the white cardstock.
Place flag attached to the cardstock back into the frame and replace the back.
And that's how easy it is to make a framed flag. Now to you add it to just about anywhere in your home to bring in a touch of patriotic, summer charm.
I placed my Flag Art in my living room. I am excited to build a summer vignette around it. This is a super easy DIY that even the busiest person can make during this crazy time of year!
