As Memorial Day quickly approaches, we all become patriotic.
We celebrate displaying our flags, and bits of red, white, and blue.
Memorial Day is a time to honor and recognize the sacrifices of those who have given their lives for our freedom. It is crucial that we always remember these heroes.
This week I completed some red, white, and blue projects I would like to share today.
Using a chunky porch piece I found at the flea market and gathering up some other wood pieces, that can be found at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby, I made some simple flag holders.
Painted the pieces red, white, and blue, and glued them together to form the holders, large and small.
To finish up, I drilled holes in the pieces to hold the flags.
This large piece is perfect as a picnic table centerpiece.
So patriotic, holding nine flags.
Here are the two smaller ones.
A really fun project, ready to be used on the 4th of July too!
The second project was easy, just paint!
I purchased this yucky yellow colored basket some time ago just waiting for the right time to transform it into something wonderful.
I loved the shape of the basket, but not the color.
Take a look at the basket now!
Painted white and filled with a large pot of deep red geraniums.
Beautiful!
The last touch was adding a flag.
Now the perfect Memorial Day centerpiece.
Our family is patriotic and many have served our country over the years.
So very proud of all of them!
God bless all of you, and God bless our country.
Celebrate and remember this Memorial Day weekend.
