Fearless Friday, Summer Sand Dollar Flag

Posted by the Painted Apron on May 26, 2017 · 31 Comments 

Not much time for painting this week because I have been hauling tableware, baking cakes, harvesting pineapples, making signs & menus,

lounging in the South Pacific

 

 

I also hung around Bloody Mary’s Bali Ha’i Bar

 

 

But!

I did have time to put together a summer flag for Memorial Day

 

 

I started with a rustic wooden palette/sign

 

 

Red, white & blue acrylic paint, and sand dollars

 

 

Look closely, the sand dollars are actually stars

 

 

Next some red stripes in a wavy stroke

 

 

The texture of this wood is so rough that straight stripes and solid color is impossible so I decided just to embrace that and make my flag intentionally look weathered

White stripes were added in between the red

 

 

This was a super quick project

 

 

The wooden flag is great for decorating the entry, heavy enough not to blow around

 

 

A festive patriotic welcome!

 

 

Have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!

    Jenna, I LOVE your flag!! It looks like it is waving in the breeze — much more interesting than the usual wooden wall flag, I think. I think I could really enjoy harvesting pineapples and snorkeling for sand dollars! Enjoy your weekend with your family! Linda

    Oh, my goodness, I love this! And of course, I have sanddollars sitting around. Some I found myself at Alligator Point back when I was in middle school! We came upon a bed of them and I scooped them up by the handfuls and have saved them all these years!

    You are the queen of cleverness! You’ll see this on pinterest many times. So clever and very neat especially for the beach.
