Wood Shim American Flag

I had to jump on the bandwagon and create my own American Flag, just in time for the 4th.

I started out with a bundle of wood shims, about $3.00 

 I had Sidney and her friend paint four shim red and four shims white. 

Just a light coat of paint so you can see a little of the wood grains.

In order to even up the shims, I added a couple skinny pieces 

and glued them down with some Gorilla glue.

Then I glued everything together. 

 Added some rocks to help the wood to bond. Waited...

Grabbed a bag of little wooden stars from Hobby Lobby.

 Painted them blue.

 Added some of my favorite jute twine.

Happy Birthday America!!!
