How to Make a Dollar tree patriotic Door Hanger

I love all the Dollar Tree patriotic items they have this time of year. When I was there and grabbed a few items and created this fun Dollar Tree Patriotic Door Hanger. I am a patriotic person so I love this time of year. I hope you do too. This is a fun project that comes together very quickly. Most everything came from Dollar Tree so it is almost a one stop shop for this one. If you would like more Dollar tree projects head over to my Dollar Tree page.

What you will Need: How to Make a Dollar tree patriotic wall hanger

• 3 Dollar Tree flat pallets
• Dollar Tree American flag napkins
• Three Dollar Tree Stars
• 1 Dollar Tree oval wood plaque — I could not find a link for this
• Patriotic ribbon
• Jute twine
• Wood Letters
• Red, white and blue chalk paint
• Antique wax
• 1 rusted jingle bell

Step 1: Paint the Pallets

Paint each of the pallets white. I used white chalk paint but you could use acrylic or spray paint.

Step 2: Cover the Pallets with Mod Podge

Cover each of the pallets with Mod Podge. Let the Mod Podge dry completely before moving onto the next strep.

Step 3: Add the Napkins

I really wanted to use the Dollar Tree flag napkins. In order to do that I had to piece them together to get the effect I wanted. First, separate the layers. I only wanted to use the stripe part of the flag. The napkins have four panels so I cut out the four panels. Lay two of the stripe parts onto the pallets so that the stripes flow together. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the napkins. Iron the parchment and napkins with an iron. to fuse the napkins to the pallets. Let cool.

Step 4: Remove the Excess Napkins

Using a sanding block or gator sanding tool remove the excess napkin from around the edges. Use an emory board to remove the napkin between the slats.

Step 4: Add more Mod Podge

Cover the napkins with another coat of Mod Podge.

Step 5: Paint the Stars

I used three stars that were connected to a patriotic tag. I removed the tag and painted them so that they were red, white and blue. One was already white and one was blue but I painted them to keep everything cohesive. Let the paint dry.

Step 6: Decoupage the Oval Plaque

Remove the jute hanger and set it aside. Paint the plaque blue. Once the paint is dry cover it with Mod Podge. Add the star fabric to the plaque in the same way you did for the pallets. Let dry. Add a second coat of Mod Podge on the napkin.

Step 7: Paint the Letters

I used U S A and painted them the letters red. Let the red paint dry. Once the red dried I highlighted the letters with some gold metallic paint.

Step 8: Glue the Letters

Hot glue the letters evenly and in the center of the plaque.

Step 9: Age the Pieces

Using the antique wax and a baby wipe rub the wax onto all of the pieces.

Step 10: Add the Stars

Hot glue one star each to the pallets in the center. Set aside.

Step 10: Put the Pieces Together

Start by placing a long piece of ribbon onto your work surface. Glue the pallets evenly down the ribbon. Reattach the jute hanger to the plaque. Hot glue the hanger to the bottom pallet.

Step 11: Create and add a Bow

Create a bow using a Bowdabra or by hand. Use patriotic ribbon. Add a rusty jingle bell to the center of the bow. Hot glue it to the top pallet onto the extra ribbon and the pallet. Take a piece of jute and fold it in half. Add some red, white and blue beads. Hot glue it to the back of the top pallet. Hang the pieces your front door and celebrate.
