Here an easy fabric banner sign that you can make for the 4th of July, Independence Day.

That is if you have light (-; The day that I was working on this project is when another one of our many Texas thunderstorms came rolling through.

Seems like it rained pretty much the whole month of May.

crafting by candle light

I’m always up early because of my bad work schedule. I have to stay on my routine so not to mess up my sleep pattern. So for the first part of this project I was working by lantern and candle light.

How to Make a 4th of July Banner

I had already used my magic aging solution on my cedar picket to give it an aged look, then I dry brushed midnight blue on the front of my wood picket without covering it completely.

After that dried I used white acrylic paint an stenciled my lettering and stars onto my picket.

Then there was light! I then cut my fabric strips for my 4th of July fabric banner sign approximately 18″ in length and 1″ wide.

I cut a total of twenty fabric strips, ten red, and ten white.

Using my handheld stapler I start by folding one end over and stapling the fabric strip to the bottom of my 4th of July fabric banner sign.

Continue stapling your fabric strips until you have them all in place.

Drill a hole in the top corner of each end then add your wire for hanging and that’s it.

      Thank you Katrin! We have had a lot of power outage during storms since we moved in this house a little over two years. They always happen at a bad time too

    You did a great job, for working with no lights. I live in one of the Dallas Forth Worth area suburbs and I’m lucky so far that I never lose my power.

      I guess that shows I’m a true diy/crafter working without light. LOL
