I'm using small flags from a recent neighborhood parade but I am including a link to flags on Amazon so you can create the look yourself. 


Similar flags are also available at the dollar store. 


Please visit the bold links for more information and the products I use. 


I removed the sticks and folded over the edge.

The free flags and a few supplies I had around the house were all I needed to create this quick and easy summer holiday garland. 


I made this garland simple and it pairs beautifully with a red, white, and blue rag garland too!

I stretched out a long length of jute down my farmhouse table while I waited for the glue gun to heat up.


If you haven't tried the Ryobi cordless glue gun yet, it is well worth the investment and the battery pack works on the other Ryobi products used for DIY projects.

I hot glued the flags onto the jute at the fold then added muslin white flags between each American flag. 


The muslin ribbons can be frayed and you can also add ribbon designs with patriotic colors and patterns. 


On each white flag I added a DIY aged mini clothespin.
