Deck the Deck

The 4th of July will be here before we know it!

We deck the halls for Christmas -- so why not deck the DECK for the 4th of July?  Don't have a deck? No problem.  Deck a picnic table, your front door, a mantle, or wall -- or your cubicle at work!

Today is Shameless Commerce Tuesday, and I've added this reversible15-flag patriotic bunting (12 feet total span, including 18-inch ties on each side) to the Buntings & Holiday Items section of my Etsy shop:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/pasqueflower?section_id=11715393.   It's a cheery mix of stars, stripes, dots, checks and other red, white and blue cotton scraps.

Double-sided 6-inch flags are sewn together.  The edges are pinked to reduce raveling.  The flags are secured between layers of bias binding with a zig-zag stitch for extra durability. 



This bunting could also be used for any patriotic holiday -- Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day or Veteran's Day -- or to welcome home a returning veteran.  Orders placed by June 29 should arrive before the 4th of July.


Do you have any big plans for the 4th of July?

  5. Your bunting is so cute! Last year we watched the fireworks from the Wisconsin State Fair Park (a mile from our house) with some friends and are planning to do the same thing this year.

  6. I like the idea of decorating for the 4th. My mom does like to decorate for all reasons so I guess I am used to it. Nice bunting.

  7. Great idea! I'm having a family party Sunday and was trying to think of a way to make it festive. A bunting would be perfect to put around the decks!
