How are you today my friends? As promised, here is another Fourth of July project and it’s under $10!  After I restyled my living room with Old Glory’s colors, I wondered how I would decorate my dining room with the huge pink, purple, and blue art piece.  

I decided the best thing to do would be to hang a flag over it.   I made a quick trip to the hardware store and bought a 3′ x5′ flag for around $8.

DIY Aged American Flag

To age the flag, I brewed four Lipton tea bags and added just enough water to completely submerge the flag.  It sat for about three hours.  I then rinsed it and tossed it into the dryer.

I simply used double sided sticky squares to hang the flag over my art.

My best friend’s photography and a printable helped complete the vignette.   You can find the printable here.

This may be the cheapest wall art I have done for the biggest impact. (Apart from my daughter’s 99cent wall gallery.)

I can’t believe Independence day is next week! Do you have any big plans?
