I finally found the time quit being so lazy to make 4th of July signs for my front step post things, click here and here to see them in the making!
I used a 1x4 for the following project. I cut a piece 11" long, another piece 4" long and the last piece 7" long. I set the 4" piece aside and cut the other 2 pieces into thirds.
I didn't really have to cut the boards into thirds, but it made it so much easier to paint the stripes, I didn't have to tape anything off!
After I gave my paint approximately 3 minutes and 48 seconds to dry, I glued it back together using wood glue. After letting the wood glue sit for approximately 4 minutes, I took it out to the garage and sanded and glazed it. I kind of wanted it to look dirty and old.
Dirty and old? Check! Next I cut a few stars out of vinyl to finish my flag! The little wood block is supposed to be a firework, I was running out of time before the girls woke up from their nap, but at least it passes the red, white and blue test!
At least my front step is ready for the 4th of July!

Very cute! I love your paint dry time - I'm so impatient w/ paint too, and never wait for the prescribed time before adding another coat :-) - glad I'm not the only one!
What a cute idea, so creative. At least you do not have to worry about stripes being even.

I really like the posts you have the signs hanging from. I have some extra fence post and now know exactly what to do with it. Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Love it.

Do you seal your vinyl onto your signs with anything? I live in an area with all 4 seasons and want to make sure I don't do the same work every year!
