Wooden Canada Day Flag DIY


With Canada Day fast approaching I wanted to share with you the Canada Day Flag that
I made from left over pine ceiling slats.

My daughter showed me a wooden flag that she had just purchased and I
knew I had the supplies on hand to make my own.

So I gathered up my supplies and went to work.


My flag measures 17" x 12 "
I glued 4 of the pine slats together
Made a stencil of a Maple Leaf

Since the pine was already painted I only had to add  the red paint to the sides  and then stencil
on the Maple Leaf






Once it dried I gave it a light sanding to make it look worn and weathered.

Then used good old paste wax to give it a finished look.

Added the stake and gave it a light paint of red .

The cost was $0. Had all the supplies on hand.
