How to make a Patriotic Sign out of an old wood shingle, and some stars that I picked up at Hobby Lobby craft store.

This Sign is a easy project, and would look great hanging up at your next Memorial Day, or July 4th cookout.

How To Make A Patriotic Sign

First run a piece of masking tape diagonally from one corner to the other.

Paint the lower portion red leaving some of the wood showing through.

Once the red paint is dry move your tape down and paint the upper portion blue, leaving some of the wood showing through.

Using your letter stencils add the word America using white paint.

Add wire to your stars leaving 6-7″ of extra wire.

Drill your holes for adding your stars, and a couple on top for wire to hang your Patriotic sign. That’s it!

Now you have a pretty Patriotic sign to display at your next gathering to show your support.

    Linda, I am so glad youo shared this idea today. I loved your Texas sign, but being a North Carolinian, I couldn’t quite make that and hang it up. But this one…absolutely! Perfect for our 4th of July celebrations.
    Many hugs, Lynn

      Thanks Lynn! Yes I guess hanging a Texas sign might not be a good idea, but this one would work and it is so easy to make.

    Linda this is really cute. I am fascinated by those stars. The colors are so pretty and I like how you drew the diagonal which really makes it stand out. I also like all of the wire details.

      Thank you Mary! I found the stars at Hobby Lobby. I use wire in a lot of my wood signs/crafts projects, and copper wire in my jewelry.

      Thank you Gigi! I had to have those stars when I seen them. Still have a few left, maybe I will get something else made in time for the fourth of July.
