Welcome back today for my repurposed wooden board. I started at Christmas time and each month I repaint and share a new design : May board celebrates Sunshine and Memorial day....

Hello Sunshine

Underneath I free hand painted the saying Hello sunshine.....

Memorial day : Stars

It's  a Memorial day  crafts with Stars ...

 

I found this flag cup in my collection.  And made this small arrangement with flowers, star picks and red and white stripe ribbon.  

The stars I cut with a Big Shot  Sizexx Star die cut.

The red, white and blue floral is from Dollar tree.

My ribbon is from my Christmas decorations box.

And this a bottle with stars

I cut these Stars from cardstock and covered in a patriotic scrapbook paper. Glued on wooden skewers and place with ribbon in the bottle.

The blue painted bottle is wrapped in red print scrapbook paper and star. 

Mason Jar Candles

Directions

1. Be sure that the Mason jar is clean on the outside.
2. Paint a layer of Decou Page onto the outside of the jar, about the same size as the American Flag.
3. Place the American flag onto the wet decou page and press it until it sticks.
4. To hold the corners down, place a glue dot on each corner and stick it to the glass.
