One last flag...lol... I'm not looking for a win, just thought I'd share this with you. A very easy project with a cool effect. I made a 3D rustic flag from 2x4s. I cut all my 2x4 pieces out, then I drew a wave along the side of one of the 2x4s and cut the pattern out with my band saw. I then traced the same pattern onto all of the other pieces and then cut them all out as well. Then I took my torch and burned all of the "red" stripes. Then I glued and nailed it all together, by stacking one at a time onto eachother and nailing into the sides. Then once together, I burnt the whole flag one more time, including the "white" stripes, to give it a more rustic feel. Then I sprayed a matte finish on it, this helps prevent the ash/burnt pieces from smudging. Then finally, carve your stars by using a dremel, and you have yourself a great looking wall hanging!! It's a very cheap project, and very easy to make. :)
