I look forward to Independence Day every year . It’s my second favorite holiday, next to Christmas of course. I’ve been looking for a door hanging but everything I find is country and while I like the country look it’s just not my style. Here is the custom door hanging I made. I love it some much I wanted to share!
What you need:
Cardboard Box
Print out of U S A at 500 font size
Patriotic Ribbon
Moss
Glue Gun
Cardboard Star
String or Floss
Start by cutting out the printed U S A and use them as a template
Trace the letters on to the cardboard and cut out.
Glue and cover the letters with the moss.
Grab the string and cut a piece about 4 in.
Stretch and glue to both side like so. This will keep the letter upright and prevent it from falling forward while hanging.
Paint your star and set aside to dry.
Grab your ribbon and cut a 24 inch strip. Glue and fold 4inchs over creating a loop on both ends.
Make a large bow and glue under loop. Then adhere the star.
Add the U and glue in to place. Then take a 8 inch piece of ribbon and create one more loop.
Slip the S through the bottom loop. Then add the A.
Your done! Hang it and enjoy!
