Wooden American Flag

Build a hanging jAmerican flag for your front door out of scrap wood, rope and paint!

This weekend Lover Boy and I worked for a few minutes on some of the many projects we have going on (we also wasted lot of time too!) We are horrible at starting projects and then getting distracted and starting another! You would have thought we would have learned our lesson from our old house. But no, we just get too excited! Anyway, Lover Boy bought a table for his router and taught me how to use it. OH.MY.GOSH! I need to hire a babysitter, I have sooo many projects planned now! If I don’t cook for awhile, you know I’m in the garage working with power tools! 🙂

Here’s how Little Finch and I made it:

In the excitement of using the router, I decided to use some old wood that the movers used to build a crate to move our TV and just have fun. I didn’t have an end goal in mind until I started routering a couple of pieces. (sorry no pictures for the first 2 steps:

1) I ran it through the table saw to make them skinnier. I didn’t cut them exactly in half, one side being a little thicker than the other

2) I ran each plank through the router on both sides

What do you guys think? Have you made any fun projects lately?

Love,
