DIY Recycled T-Shirt American Flag
You've heard of American flag t-shirts I'm sure...
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.
I tied knots in the bottom of the strips at varying lengths.
I used the remaining t-shirt strip (a little wider) to create a braid to hang the flag. I secured the braid to the back of the board using screws.
🇺🇸The results are a one of a kind rustic
