Louver Slats for A Flag

Louver Slats for A Flag

Did you ever wonder what to do with slats from a louver door? Well, here's a project that you might want to try - a 4th of July flag.

We had an old louver door and wanted to get rid of it. I asked hubby if he could cut off the ends so I could have the slats. so there I was with a box full of them.  Now what?

This was not a difficult project, but I did have to wait while the paint dried.  I did not cut down the slats.  That was they original size. I lightly sanded them and then painted 4 red and 3 white.

The top board was off a pallet board. I sanded this piece too and painted it navy blue. 

Once all the boars were dried, hubby drilled holes for wire to attach to the top board. He marked them all so they would be the same. He also marked the pallet board.

He makes me this twisted wire. It's his own design. He uses thin copper. You can use any wire you have. The slats are light weight. We went through the front of the slat and the pallet board and into the back.

The star and rope(already had) I got from the Dollar Tree. We drilled holes for the rope and I tied a knot on the front.  You could always use a hook if you wanted to. 

For the star, I used tiny screws to attach the star to the pallet board. You could always paint a star on there instead. 

I have it hanging on my door out to the lanai.
