DIY Recycled T-Shirt American Flag

You've heard of American flag t-shirts I'm sure...
But have you heart of a t-shirt American flag?

Well you have now and I'm gong to show you how to create this easy DIY flag project. First you begin with old t-shirts, one red and one white. I pulled mine out of the donation box in the basement... repurposing at it's finest! 
I cut off the shirts about 7" up from the hem then cut strips about 1 1/2" wide in both colors. I stretched each strip until they curled a little bit.  At the same time I was also staining and distressing an old board. I made mine rectangular, you could also make it a square. Use the scraps you may already have.
