DIY Farmhouse American Flag

You are here: Home / Budget-Friendly / DIY Farmhouse American Flag

Hello everyone!

Today I’m sharing an easy patriotic craft with you. This little flag craft is perfect for a shelf sitter, tiered tray, or added to a wreath. It’s even easy enough for the kiddo’s to join in the fun. So gather up your craft supplies, plug in your glue gun and follow along.

Items you will need for your American Flag craft

  • 5 X 7 stretched canvas from Dollar Tree
  • assorted ribbons in red, white, and blue
  • white buttons
  • glue gun
  • scissors

I like to use different sizes and textures of ribbon for this craft. I even added some ricrac too. You could even use strips of fabric along with the ribbon for this project.

I started with the blue portion of the flag, cut the blue sections of ribbon to size. I didn’t really measure; I just eyed it and cut the blue ribbons to a size that I thought looked good. I laid the ribbons on the canvas first to see how it looked, then glued them onto the canvas. I repeated this same process with the red and white ribbons. I cut them to size, then arranged them onto the canvas to see how it looked first. When I was satisfied with how it looked, then I glued the red and white ribbons. Some of the white canvas peeks through in places, but that’s ok. I also glued some of the small white pom-pom ribbon around the perimeter to give it a more finished look. Lastly, I glued some white buttons on the blue section for “stars.”

And here’s the finished flag. It was so simple and fun to make. Honestly, you could do different variations of this on any size canvas, even a larger size. The sky is the limit!

I hope I’ve inspired you to get creative and make you own Star-Spangled Banner! It will be the perfect addition to your patriotic decor, and just in time for the 4th of July!

Happy Crafting!

Pamela

Meet Pamela, the Creator

Pamela, Creator

Born and raised in rural, Missouri, I'm a wife of 30 years and mother to one adult son.

My interest in all things artsy-craftsy began as a young girl. If there was a craft kit for it, I've probably tried it: paint-by-number, latch-hooking rugs, candle-making, shrinky-dinks, string-art, etc. I loved them all! For many years I was able to express my creativity on-the-job as a florist, and love using silk florals in my home decorating projects.

I'm excited to share my crafting and home decorating ideas with you. I like finding that perfect thrift store item and crafting something new out of it, or giving that old piece of furniture a new life with a fresh coat of paint. I hope my projects will inspire you to get craftsy and create things to help decorate a home you love.

Happy Crafting!
