So I am not going to show you the chalk boards today we will go for a patriotic theme.
I bought the flag at the dollar store. It was made in China, has the wrong number of stripes and is a square instead of a rectangle. But, when I wrapped it around a piece of cardboard cut to fit the window it looked okay. I also tea stained the flag before I put it in the window. This only works with cotton flags. Many flags are nylon which makes them very weather resistant but it will not take the tea well.
Cost- $2
window- free
flag- $1
tea- $1 (got that from dollar store also)
stain (left over from another project) I also stained the window frame, still worried about lead paint.
I didn't make this idea up, I saw this in a local antique boutique for $120.00. I think they had a real vintage flag inside, but for $118.00 savings I will go for the knock off flag. Is that unpatriotic?
HAPPY JULY
