Upcycled Window Pane Flag

June 14, 2013

In honor of flag day, I thought I’d repost my favorite flag, an Upcycled Window Pane Flag.  Hope you enjoy!

I have had this old window frame with this flag panel in it for years.  I LOVE it, but as you can see it is really faded.  So I thought it was time for some updating. 
We had some wainscoting that was left over from our banquette seating project and thought that would work great if I ran it horizontally.  I had my handy hubby cut me a piece that would fit the window frame..
Here are the supplies you will need:
window frame
wainscoting
white spray paint
blue paint
brown paint
red paint- I used Martha Stewarts red glitter paint
paint brush
thicker white vinyl
Silhouette machine if you have it.
First step:  spray paint your wainscoting white.  When the paint is dry nail it to the frame.
I then painted the upper left hand pane navy blue and then painted each strip with red paint.  I left the white stripe alone.
For my stars I used my silhouette machine to cut them out.  I used the heavier vinyl instead of the thinner stuff.  The thinner didn’t want to adhere to the wainscoting.  The thicker vinyl adhered very well.  I cut 12 and used 10.  If you don’t have a Silhouette or Cricut you could just cut them out by hand.
After I put the stars on the flag, I lightly dry brushed some brown paint to antique them.
The finished Project.
I put it on my mantel with my USA frames that I made last year for 4th of July.
 Here is a picture of the whole mantel.
Happy Creating!

    I love it!! Using the wainscoating was genius!! It already had stripes and with the window pane it was sectioned off perfectly. Love it!!

    Oh yeah, lovin your glad in window. I have an old window so maybe gonna have to make one like that, be able to take it out of window at will to use another scene behind window. Think the wainscoting is perfect used to make the flag. I'll have to see if Lowes or HD has a scrap piece I could buy. Beautiful job on whole project. Love your blog.
