First step – Painting the star
Here I was simply went through and painted the front and the back of the wood on the Unfinished Wood and Corrugated Metal Star Sign with a darker blue paint ( Cobalt Blue Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint) . The metal star was able to be moved side to side, allowing me to get every inch of the wood.
Second step – Painting the stir sticks
I have taken 5 stir sticks and painted 3 white and 2 red. This will be part of the ‘flag’ hanging from the bottom of the star.
Third step – Let’s get Staggering
I laid out all 5 stir sticks push together. I staggered them to have the 2 pieces on each side shorter than the middle white one. There is approximately 1/4 inch staggered with each stir stick from the middle piece.
Forth step – Glue in place
Once the stir sticks are in place, take your star sign that was painted and apply a coat of hot glue to the back side towards the bottom. Then lay that on the top of the staggered stir sticks to glue in place.
Fifth step – Secure
I took one of the extra stir sticks that i had and added a quick coat of white paint to. Once dried, i cut to length to cover crossed the width of the stir sticks. This will help secure them and keep them from moving around.
Sixth Step – Add the accessories
Here I tied a simple bow out of the black and white checkered ribbon to place at the top of the hanger. I did this to help break up the colors and add contrast. Then on top of that I tied another simple bow from the braided red jute ribbon to add onto the checkered. This helps again bring in the contrast and keep with the patriotic colors.
