So my idea started with wanting little blocks of wood but I couldn't find any at home depot.
So the default was go to Hobby Lobby and see what they have.
I saw some little cardboard boxes and had a battle with myself if I wanted to spend 2 bucks on each box....
As you see my saving savvy side didn't win.
What you need:
- 3 boxes/pieces of wood/or whatever you would like to use =)
- red white and blue paint (make sure it's all acrylic or metallic, I have 2 acrylic and 1 metallic.. it worked out alright but just make sure!)
- Letter stencils (or if you're awesome at free handing go for it!)
- Painting utensils
I tried to spray paint the "U" on and I gave up very quickly when only one small piece of my "U" made it out alive.. It looked like somthing had died on the front of the box with red every where.
Becuase of the Metallic paint i decided to create a messy look on the boxes.
It turned out well.
TA-DA!
I love celebrating the 4th of July a month early! haha
(I just say I put it up for memorial day which is just as important!!)
Thanks for reading!
