Sorry I am a little slow at getting up my Patriotic project. And the sad part is I made this project a while before I ever started blogging and had the pictures taken months ago. I have just had so much fun sharing all the wedding stuff with you I forgot to share this with you sooner.
This was pretty easy to make. I made 3 cuts from a 2x4.
1 - 14"
1 - 12"
1 - 9"
I painted them red, white, and blue.
Then I drilled holes in the top of each 2x4. I drilled the hole probably like 1 inch deep. Then I cut three pieces of white yarn about 4 inches long. I wanted them to be stiff so I got out some Mod Podge I dipped them in it, then used my fingers to make them nice and straight. When they dried they were stiff. Then I can't I remember but I think I just shoved them down in the hole but I might have put a little more Mod Podge on to glue them in.
I put them all together with wood glue. But if I were to do it again I think I would screw them together.
I drilled a hole in the middle of my star, which I got from the craft store. Then I just wrapped some wire around, put it through the hole in the star, and wrapped the ends around a pencil to make them curled.
Pretty easy!
