{Picket Fence}

Since I was hosting a Pennant Party, of course I HAD to show a fun project I made that's accented with a pennant! I recently made a Starfish Flag {inspired by The Lettered Cottage}. Here's my version, made using Paint Stirrer Sticks! {You can buy them at Wal-Mart for about a quarter each!}
How do you like that Pennant Banner on my mantel? I won it from Day Dream Believers! Adorable, right!
After I made the flag, I decided I wanted to make it double sided so that I could get twice as much use out of it! When I flipped it over, it totally looked like a picket fence! So there was my new project! I painted the back white, added another paint stirrer and strung it with a pennant made from card stock & twine!

Isn't it just as cute on my mantel as the starfish flag!


See, doesn't it look like a cute little picket fence!

Here's a close up of the paper pennant!
