DIY Decoupaged Summer Firecracker Blocks
It is time for Ten on the 10th and our theme is Fourth of July!
This patriotic project began with leftover 1" x 1" oak trim pieces and little fabric flags like the ones the politicians hand out at parades. 🇺🇸
You can find flags like this at the Dollar Tree.
First, I cut the wood into blocks the length of the flags, about 6".
You can find small American flags by following this link.
Next, I removed the flag from the stick and wrapped it around three sides of the wooden block.
I attached the flags to the blocks with Matte Mod Podge, first under the flag and then on top.
When the Mod Podge dried I trimmed any overhanging flag fabric with scissors.
I painted the 4th side of the block and both ends with red and blue craft paint then let it dry by the fan.
After the paint dried I drilled holes in the top of the blocks and glued in small pieces of wooden skewers with wood glue.
I painted the blocks with a coat of clear satin sealer then when it dried went over it again with light stain to give the firecrackers a vintage look.
You can use a glossy sealer to make your firecrackers shiny too!
I love the look of these fun firecrackers!
They are going to make adorable decorations around the house this summer.
Now take a look at the beautiful Ten on the 10th Fourth of July Projects my friends have created to share with you!
