A Summer Patriotic Welcome Sign....from fabric scraps & wood

 Hi friends, welcome! As the summer patriotic holidays soon approach I start thinking about red, white and blue decor. It's one of my  favorite times of the year to decorate,  how about you? 

This was just a simple Sunday craft. I gathered my reds, whites and blues of fabric scraps, an old piece of weathered wood. Just a simple sew of a flag type sack, adding red stripes, and blue to white. Attaching it to the wood. I filled it with some paper flowers made from old encyclopedia pages.  I learned the flower technique from the Silver Farmhouse, a great live Facebook place to visit. Lots of crafts!  I used a star stencil and some letters for the welcome . I did use a sewing machine to make the sack but it can easily be done using hot glue. It was a fun afternoon craft!





Thanks so much for stopping by

Wishing you a crafty day!
