American Flag Upcycled Pallet

 Recycle an old pallet.  Patriotic awesomeness.

This uses 13 strips, nailed to 4 cross bars on the back.

Rows of nails...

 Paint blue on the upper left side, using only 6 stripes.

Start with Red on the top...alternate red and white stripes...

yes, my 8 year old can do it!  :)

Allow to dry...

 Then I used Dark Walnut minwax wood stain.

Just rubbed with a rag onto the edges and across some stripes.

 I like it better just a tad distressed.

I put this up at our new house...

so I could remember which house was ours...

since there are 6 red brick houses in a row!  :)

Because I am fiercely patriotic and love America!

I love it!
