DIY Hand Lettered American Plaque – It looks amazing

May 31, 2019 by Shellie Wilson

Did you know you could hand letter on wood with markers? Well, yes you can and I did! This rectangular plaque already had the flag shape, so measure and sketch in the star field and stripes with a ruler and pencil. Hand letter the Pledge of Allegiance, again with pencil first and then with a permanent marker. Color in the blue star field and red stripes with brush markers (or acrylic paint). Embellish with small white paper flowers. Embrace your hand lettering and display your patriotic spirit!  You can see the full tutorial here. 

If you’re looking for good old fashioned homemade Fourth of July decorations, then try some DIY decorations.

Fireworks are becoming less popular with their effects on the environment so why not outshine those back yard pops and bangs with these DIY Easy patriotic ideas.

If you‘re throwing an Independence Day or memorial day bash, you‘re going to need some red, white and blue party decorations.

You can decorate your mantels inside your home, maybe you window boxes, wreaths or your front porch.
