How to Paint an American Flag on a Window Screen
An easy patriotic DIY!
Cost: $40
Materials
- Old Window Screen
- Red, White & Blue Latex Paint
- Paint Brush
- Painter's Tape
Instructions
- Make sure your screen is clean and dry.
- Tape off one section of the screen. Make sure that you place your tape in strips from left to right (this will be important later for making the stripes of the flag).
- In the left hand corner, remove tape to create a square for the blue portion of the flag.
- Using two strips of tape for the thickness of a stripe, remove every other section of tape.
- Take the tape you removed and line it up with the tape on the opposite side of the screen, creating stripes all the way across the screen.
- Paint the exposed stripes red and paint the left-hand corner blue.
- Remove all painter's tape before paint dries too much.
- Allow paint to dry completely.
- Using a star stencil, stencil stars onto the blue portion of the flag.
- Allow paint to dry.
