Step by Step Instructions for How to Make a DIY Pallet Wood American Flag

Step TWO – Measure Your American Flag

Iron & Measure out your American Flag so you know how big to make the wood frame.

Although, our vintage American flag was originally 3 by 5 foot long it had definitely shrunk over the years.

Step THREE – Cut the Wood for the Back Frame of Your Pallet Wood American Flag

Cut your scrap wood for the back frame of the reclaimed DIY pallet wood American flag making angled cuts for the corners & a few vertical boards for inside of the frame.

Now the back frame of your pallet wood American flag is done!

Step FIVE – Add Card Board to the Back of your Frame

Using a giant Ikea box (leftover from our new master bedroom sitting area), we cut & stapled the back of the frame of our pallet wood American flag.

The cardboard helps keep dust out & gives the frame a smooth back when hanging against a wall.

Step SIX – Add your American Flag the Back frame

We laid our American flag over the scrap wood frame & taped it around the edges with clear packing tape.

Step SEVEN – Cut the Pallet Wood Frame

We cut the pallet wood to frame around the front of the flag & the sides of the frame.

Step TEN – Attach Twine to the Back of Your Pallet Wood American Flag

Using our staple gun, we attached the twine to the back of the frame so we could hang our Pallet wood American flag.

With the twine, the American flag can easily hang from a single screw or nail.
