Wooden Block "American" Flag
I just love vintage game pieces. Enough to use them on repurposed projects every chance I get! This one was made with Dollar Tree "Jenga" blocks and couldn't be cuter!
So when I found a bunch of faux Jenga® game pieces at the thrift store I had several projects in mind including this one.

Then using the blocks as a guide I began painting the stripes and the blue field using craft paint.
When the paint dried I used a dark wax to age the flag and bring out all the different wood tones in the blocks.

On a recent trip to Target I found these glasses in the dollar section...
well $3 section to be exact.
They're cute but definitely not special enough.
Until I had the idea to get crafty with them.
I used my vinyl cutter to cut out the birth dates of my grandchildren.
One Dad has 2 boys and the other has one on the way.
This mother of 4 girls is finally getting her boys in the form of grandsons!
