How to Make Wooden American Flag Bunting
Recently I entered a contest and the theme was "patriotic."
So in honor of the Fourth of July I created a flag bunting.
I saw a wooden half circle door mat for sale at a local discount store and I knew someday it would be great for something. Today was that day, it was just what I needed for this project!
I removed the rubber separators from one side of the wooden mat so it would be even of an arch shape,
then I tied it back together tightly.
I screwed the smaller end onto a strip of wood for stability.
I spray painted the bunting white and marked off where I wanted to paint the blue and the red stripes.
Perfect for my sign!
I used an antiquing glaze on both the bunting and the sign, then heavily distressed them both using sandpaper.

Outstanding piece, Susan! I've yet to see a wooden walkway shaped like that but I'll be sure to look for one now.
