"A time to remember our freedoms and thank God for them"

Honoring our heroes, our family members, our friends, the entire Nation.

Materials: Hardware cloth, ribbon in different colors: red, white and blue for the flag; decorative stars ribbon, an old photo frame, goma eva.

Tools:
Wire pliers, scissors, hot glue gun, stapler machine.

Instructions:

Look for an old photo frame and measure it so you will know what size of hardware cloth you will need. Cut the corresponding size.

Then start weaving the different color ribbon through the hardware cloth to form the American flag.

For the blue square and starts, I used curly ribbon so I could give some kind of volume to it and I put some white curly ribbon to act as the stars.

Later, mount the finished flag in the old photo frame and secure it with picture framing points or staples.

To make this entrance door hanging more charming add some stars decorated ribbon with some red, white and blue stars shaped with the following saying: "A time to remember our freedoms and thank God for them.

Here is the finished project: 

Hope y'all like this easy to do project to honor some family members, friends or just to decorate your house.

My son loved it and he even helped me to weave the ribbon through the hardware cloth.

Please feel free to ask me any doubts regarding this project, and please leave me some feedback.

I like to improve myself.

Happy 4th of July 2013!
