Easy 4th of July Decor: 2×4 Flag and 2×2 Firecrackers
It’s time for 4th of July decorations. I just love the colors and the stars of the 4th of July, they are so much fun!!
I saw the flag idea on pinterest. And last year I made these firecrackers, so I thought I would make them again.
For the flag:
I took a 2×4 and cut it into 6 pieces. Two of them were 7” and the other four were 3.5”. Notice the green spray paint? I got this 2×4 in the clearance section for only $.51! I love the clearance section
I sanded the wood and then painted them.
I sanded the edges and then with wood glue, glued the pieces together.
I took some white vinyl from Expressions Vinyl and cut out a star with my CAMEO. And that’s it, super easy!!
For the firecrackers:
I took a 2×2 (I also got it in the clearance section) and cut it into three pieces, 10”, 9” and 8”
I sanded the edges and then painted it.
I sanded the edges and the put the vinyl onto the wood.
For the fuse, I took a pipe cleaner and wrapped it around a pencil.
Then I just used a staple gun and attached it to the top of the wood.
Aren’t they so much fun!!! I love how they turned out! I should have made more

Visiting from BFOL. I was JUST about to throw away a bunch of scrap wood pieces but this post made me race back to the garbage can and pull them all out! Awesome idea and a great way to use up leftover scraps and paint!
