Crib Spring Patriotic Flag

The 4th of July is fast approaching,   so I have been trying to get a few Patriotic decorations put out.     I put a few out before Memorial day......now a few more.     I will probably leave them all up til after Labor Day.

I decided to hang the Patriotic flag that I made on the front of the built in display cabinet in the family room.     I like the way you can peek in between the springs to see the vignettes on the shelves.

My Give Thanks sign is a reminder that we should all be grateful for the freedom we enjoy in America.

I found my spring Saturday at a yard sale........

The whole baby bed was only $7.50......what a deal!     I have a project in mind to use the bed as yard art.

  I wanted my flag to fit in with my shabby chic decor in the family room,   so I picked out fabric in pastel colors.    I used some striped pink and cream ticking fabric and a yard sale sheet with some blue in it.......

The sheet also had some pastel colored flowers in it.

It was a simple project that didn't take very long.     I just ripped 2 inch pieces of fabric and wove them thru the springs.

I saved all the pieces that I cut off the ends and tied them all together.    I tied all of them to the top left corner of the flag for a little added touch.

Here's a peek into the china cabinet.......

 

I wanted to share the Patriotic place mats that I am using on the table.

I bought them a few weeks ago at Walmart for a couple of dollars each.

They are vinyl for easy cleaning and are also reversible.

Have a wonderful week ahead!
