Louver Slats for A Flag
Louver Slats for A Flag
Did you ever wonder what to do with slats from a louver door? Well, here's a project that you might want to try - a 4th of July flag.
We had an old louver door and wanted to get rid of it. I asked hubby if he could cut off the ends so I could have the slats. so there I was with a box full of them. Now what?
This was not a difficult project, but I did have to wait while the paint dried. I did not cut down the slats. That was they original size. I lightly sanded them and then painted 4 red and 3 white.
The top board was off a pallet board. I sanded this piece too and painted it navy blue.
Once all the boars were dried, hubby drilled holes for wire to attach to the top board. He marked them all so they would be the same. He also marked the pallet board.
He makes me this twisted wire. It's his own design. He uses thin copper. You can use any wire you have. The slats are light weight. We went through the front of the slat and the pallet board and into the back.
The star and rope(already had) I got from the Dollar Tree. We drilled holes for the rope and I tied a knot on the front. You could always use a hook if you wanted to.
For the star, I used tiny screws to attach the star to the pallet board. You could always paint a star on there instead.
I have it hanging on my door out to the lanai.

4th of July Pallet Blocks
4th of July Blocks
I started to decorate with holiday items for Memorial Weekend. I made some stars and flags for a centerpiece. You can see those here.
I decided to add to my collection by making some wooden blocks. I made one blue with a star and 2 with red stripes. (they look on the pink side but are really red)
These were easy to make. I used pallet boards to make mine. You can use any scrap of wood since they are not very large.
I used one board cut from a pallet to cut all three of my blocks.
How to make 4th of July blocks:
pallet board
paint
painters tape
washers
twine
1. Pallet boards are the right size. You can use any board you have and make them whatever size you want, but mine are 3 1/2 X 5. Cut 3 pieces
2. I cut the corners off of each piece at one end. I cut them at 45 degrees. Sand lightly.
3. I painted one of the blocks blue and then used some sand paper to rough it up. I painted both sides.
4. I cut a star out of card stock paper and then traced it on the blue block. I painted the star white.
5. For the red stripe ones, I painted the blocks white on both side. Once dried, I taped of some stripes and then painted them red. Once they were dried and the tape was removed, I sand the blocks a little.
6. I drilled a hole near the top so I could add twine. I found these rusted washers so I glued them to one side. (I did not put them on both sides)
They were easy to make and make a great addition to my 4th f July decorations.

4th of July Camping Decor
I tried to make items that would travel well and not take up too much space.
We had a palm tree right beside our campsite that was the perfect spot to place my 4th of July decor.
