Directions:

• Start with a dowel to hold everything together at the top

• Stamp white fabric paint to the denim giving it some imperfections, which adds character to the piece

• Cut and rip the materials at different lengths

• Lay out the design to make sure everything is color coordinated

• Glue everything together and attach to the dowel

• You can also add other items like rings to give the flag your own personal touch

• Since the materials are not weather resistant, its best to keep this flag indoors

• Take your beautiful flag and attach on the wall!

Watch Tanya demonstrate how to make your own DIY vintage American flag in the video below!

Home & Family airs weekdays at 10:00 a.m. EST on Hallmark Channel.
