I bet many of you did as I did for this rustic American flag I made...
I only made one star... easy and cute but what if you want 50 stars?
Well here is what I did on this American Flag Tray I painted... You can go to the post and read the whole process but I'm going to give you a tip.
First I painted my flag... this tray was perfect because it had these lines in it already.
Next I used an old piece of plastic and a small star hole punch.
I measured 1" lines all the way down the plastic until I had 10 stars in a row all evenly spaced. You will want to space your stars according to the size of the space you need.
Then I punched the star hole at each line.
I used a stencil brush with just a small amount of white paint and pounced in each star.
I repeated this for 5 rows.
This can be done on any flag and the star punches come in various sizes. I got my star punch at Michael's Craft Store.
Stop by the original American Flag Tray post to see the complete details.
Happy Painting!
