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!

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

Love that flag, and I bet you made it for a lot less than the Pottery Barn one.
ReplyDeleteSuch 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! :)
ReplyDeleteTake 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?
