I have been neck-deep in home projects again the last few days, but in honor of Memorial Day, I wanted to show off a beadboard flag I made!
When my last Pottery Barn catalog came, I had actually turned down the corner of the page with their huge $129 flag on it (click on the picture for a link to their website):
So it was funny that a few days later, a lovely woman (for whom I have made other signs) asked if I could copy it for her!
My version is 48” long x 27” tall, and made out of beadboard.
Wishing a Happy Memorial Day to you all, gentle readers!
Thank you for those who have served our country, or who have supported family members who have!

Hi Korrie,
Your flag is gorgeous!!! Using beadboard was very smart. I made one with lattice strips.

LOVE it, Korrie! :)
That is a great knock off version! I might have to borrow that idea someday a spot on my back deck that's begging for something neat!
It's just amazing Korrie! You outdid yourself on this one! Have a wonderful weekend!
Looks great Korrie!
You're quite talented. Good job! Robyn
Awesome job!

Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend.

Your version is just as great, if not even better!
I have some spare bead board....How cool would that look hanging from our porch?
Love this.
Awesome flag!!! You did a great job creating it! :)
Happy Memorial Day!
That looks great, and the beadboard is perfect for that project!

This flag is a real stunner! How clever to use bead board! I would hang this proudly!
Wonderful project you have here...love how you used beadboard.
Blessings,

Love that flag, and I bet you made it for a lot less than the Pottery Barn one.
Such a genius use of beadboard, Korrie! I've been wanting to paint a rustic flag sign, but dreaded all the taping to make the stripes. Now I have no excuse not to try this! :)
Take care,

This is fabulous! I love the beadboard, it makes the stripes a lot easier to do! I may have to borrow this idea. I hope you have a fabulous day!

Gorgeous Knock-Off! I made one 30 years ago out of lath - but my stars were too small. I used stickers on top of a white ground and spray-painted the space blue. How did you do your stars?

I've been eyeing that PB flag in their catalog the last few years... love that you used beadboard - brilliant! I'm featuring your flag in the PoPP Spotlight this weekend. Thanks for joining the party!
