Soooo….school started yesterday! Preschool that is. I spent all of Labor Day weekend crying 🙁 ha! Yes, I am “that” mom. I am just so sad at how fast my kids are growing up! Seriously, they are going to be graduating high school like tomorrow! Going off to college a million miles away from home, getting married and moving two million miles away from home (of course I do not know anyone who would be this cruel to their parents…except the the children of my own parents! Lover Boy and I are doomed! Karma is going to suck!)

Anywho…because I’m an avid crafter and just have to be busy all of the time, I made a Back to School Garden Flag, which you may remember from the other day. Here’s a picture 🙂

In that flag tutorial post, I showed you how I made the flag but not the post! So today I’m going to show you exactly how I built the most easy DIY wood working project ever!

Supplies Needed:

For most of this wooden flag holder, I used scrap pieces of wood I had laying around the garage.

1 – 4×4 – I used a 4×4 pressure treated post, which is great because I anchored it into the ground. Treated wood is the type of wood you use for exterior and ground projects
1 – 2×4 – this was a scrap piece of wood
1 – 2×6 – another scrap piece of wood
1 – craft finial – I purchased these at Lowe’s in the lumber section. However, I’ve had a hard time finding them since, so Amazon is your best bet

Cut List:

In the image below, I show the sizes I cut each piece of wood. If I hadn’t of used a scrap piece of 4×4 that was already cut to 4 feet in length, I would have kept it longer (around 5-6 feet) to allow for the distance I needed to bury it into the ground for anchoring.
