This is my mantel. I love it. My mom came and helped arrange it. She is so good. My favorite thing this year is that flag. It came from the dollar store I think, or Michaels. It was one of those on a stick. I cut the stick off. Then I cut a piece of canvas fabric the same size as the back of the frame which I hot glued to the back of the frame. then I hot glued the flag with tiny dots of hot glue. Then put it all back together in the frame. Which used to be gold before I spray painted it. I also already had the frame from a family picture making the total cost of my new favorite flag picture about $3. Oh, I do love the stars I stuck in glass coke bottles up there too.
This is the baby version I made for a friend. It was made with an x10 frame and one of those tiny flags on a stick.
I decided I needed a new patriotic wreath too.
Which spiraled into a little patriotic vignette on the porch. I know, I have problems.
Forgive the morning sun, but here is the whole thing from the front yard. Hope you all have a marvelous Fourth of July!
