The biggest holiday of the summer is just around the corner and I for one love Independence Day! The family gatherings, the food and the fireworks! It’s just a fun day of celebrating! I love patriotic decor; unfortunately Mr. Manly Man does not. A red, white and blue living room is not his cup of tea bottle of beer. Good thing he’s okay with a little wall decor.
Here is what I used:
Wooden Frames
Fabric
Wooden Letters
Paint
Mod Podge
Hot Glue
Fabric
Wooden Letters
Paint
Mod Podge
Hot Glue
How I made it:
I started by painting the letters Old White.
While they dried, I decoupaged the fabric to the picture frame glass. When dry I trimmed off the excess fabric.
Then I put the glass back in the frames and hot glued the letters to the glass. The "U" frame is my favorite. A little measuring and a couple of nails in the wall and here's what I ended up with.
Easy, inexpensive and it looks great!
So there you have it – a simple Independence Day Craft.
