Another Door Hanging

This is almost exactly what I envisioned in my head. I was originally thinking of the stripes being something less sparkly. When I was thinking of what I could use, I thought of plastic table cloth, waterproof type material in streamer strips. But I didn't know where I'd find that. So I looked around in the trim section at Hobby Lobby (50% off! :) And found this sequin trim (that I love)! There were also floral picks with 3 stars of each color: red, white and blue. These stars are exactly what I pictured! I also got the gold trim to go with the flag theme. 

I love how it turned out. And like the Easter one, it was a bit tricky to get it to look the way I wanted. I got online and looked up measurement ratios for the real flag-this doesn't follow them. It was fun to use different tools to get the finished product. I used a saw, yard clippers, paint, sand paper, a drill and the smallest bit, glue gun, fishing line and wire. And of course my trim and stars. Fun project!!
