DIY 2-sided American Flag on a Shutter
Creating a DIY two-sided American flag on a shutter is not only a wonderful way to show off your patriotism but also a fun and creative project to embark on! Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just want to try something new, this project is perfect for adding a touch of Americana to your home decor. To get started, gather your materials, including a shutter, paint, and stencils or tape to create the flag design. Take your time painting each side of the shutter with red, white, and blue colors to bring the flag to life. Once complete, hang it up proudly in your home or garden for a unique and charming display that celebrates the red, white, and blue! Happy crafting!

Next paint the other slates with red chalk paint.
Then paint the block blue.
Once thoroughly dry flip over and paint the other side the same.
Next stencil the stars in the blue blocks. I couldn’t get the star stencil that I had close enough to the edges, so I made my own stencil using some stencil plastic that I had on hand.
To age my 2-sided American Flag on a Wood Shutter I added some watered down antiquing medium, wiping it off till I got the desired effect that I was looking for.
I used some black acrylic paint to add to the aged effect by adding a dab to my finger then smearing a little here and there on my shutter flag, then immediately wiping with a paper towel.
Then I put the hinges back on, added some eye hooks, and chain for hanging in the sunroom window.
My new 2-sided American Flag on a Shutter is now hanging in our sunroom not only for the fourth of July but year-round.
