Materials…

  • Cardstock
  • PVA glue
  • Foam pads
  • Seed beads
  • DecoArt Glamour Dust
  • Blue and red pens
  • Stickles glitter glue
  • www.twopeasinabucket.com – All Boxed Up font

To create…

1 Select nine photos and crop to just less than 3×3″ each. Cut three white cardstock panels of the same size.

2 Cut the American flag from the All Boxed Up font at the same size, four times in red, four times in blue and four times in white.

3 Take the red flags and arrange them randomly with the white squares and photos on the beige cardstock. Ensure even spacing and glue down.

4 Take the whole starred section from the blue flags and the only the stars from the white flags. Put a tiny blob of PVA glue on each star of the blue squares and add a bead. Allow this to dry a little, then add a tiny blob of glue to the bead and top with a white star.

5 Trim the stripes from the white flags. Cover all with PVA glue and Glamour Dust and allow to dry.

6 Add journaling to the white squares and outline with red and blue pen. Assemble the flags and cut the title from white cardstock in the desired true-type font. Attach the title and edge with glitter glue.
