so far i have made three wreaths (i posted pictures on my post titled "Wreaths"), a couple table runners and a couple little odds and ends around the house. with what i had leftover i decided to make into a new burlap garden flag to coordinate with my wreaths and decor outside which all have the chevron burlap ribbon i purchased at Hobby Lobby.
I took some inspirations off of some I found on Etsy. i love how the bow turned out!=]
The first thing i did was size the burlap to my flag holder and cut two pieces (i am using real burlap so it has alot of holes and can be pretty thin so i doubled it up) and i glued those two pieces together around the edges to make it look a little thicker. Then i cut two strips and glued them together on the back of the flag to form loops that i can put the flag holder through to hang it. Next, I just took some regular black paint and a brush and free handed the "C" and the est. 2010. Once that dried i cut strips of my chevron ribbon and i made loops in three different sizes and two of each and glued those on the flag to form a "bow". For the middle of the bow i just cut a smaller strip and glued across the middle. Then just glued the tails of the ribbon on in a twisted pattern and its finished!
I made this myself out of supplies i either already had or was given to me. If you can find these items or can buy them on sale or off of a friend I would totally make this instead of buying one. these can sale for as high as $25-$30 depending on the retailer. I think it is obnoxious asking that for a little garden flag. So, if you can find these supplies then you can have the leftovers for other projects as well!=]
I hop you guys liked this and I hope you make one of your own.
thank you and keep following for more!
