Kim tells us, “I have had three old shutters hanging out in my “junk” pile in my garage for the past 2 years.” She recently upcycled one of those plain shutters into a piece of flag wall art, just in time for Memorial Day and the 4th of July. The two-year wait was well worth it, as you can see at her blog Too Much Time on My Hands.
After giving the shutter a coat of white spray paint, Kim printed out a star template. Starting at the bottom, she painted on the white stripes, then “left a nice area at the top for my blue and star.” After tracing around the star and then painting with blue, she used two clear coats of spray paint to give her new flag a bit of weather-proofing. I definitely think this new flag deserves a salute!
