And now…for the REST of the story!
If you’ve stuck with me this long, you now know how one wrecked beadboard flag has been turned into multiple smaller projects!
First there was the patriotic bunting, then the large Old Glory sign.
The next sign is probably my favorite! I took a five-stripe section out of the middle of the flag and painted a Benjamin Franklin quote on it that I came across on Pinterest (where else?):
Where Liberty dwells, there is my country.
The lettering is all in navy blue, outlined in white. For the word “Liberty,” I painted over the letters in clear glitter to give it some sparkle!
At the moment I am enjoying it on my buffet, but it will go with me to the Whitaker Museum Flea Market on June 16th.
In the picture below, you can see a small “Glory” sign that was made out of the final scraps of the flag. Actually—it is the reason the whole flag couldn’t be re-painted? Let this be a lesson to you…NEVER cut off 6 inches of your flag until you’re sure you have the measurements right!
I’m curious…which version of my buffet do you like better?
