Dollar Tree Patriotic Stars

After the fifty days of Easter are over, I begin to decorate my home for the summer. I fill my space inside in outside with summer fruits like, watermelon, lemons and strawberries. I also use Patriotic American decor. I created these red, white and blue patterned stars I purchase from the Dollar Tree.

To begin, I painted each star set, one red, one white and one blue. I painted the edges, which are the part that will be showing after applying the paper.

After allowing the paint to dry, I then picked out three patterned papers I wanted to use. I picked red, white and blue patterned scrapbook paper. I turned the paper over and traced each star on the back of the paper.

After tracing the star, cut out the paper. You will then glue the paper onto the stars using modge podge. I used a paintbrush to apply the modge podge to the wooden stars.

After applying the scrapbook paper to the wooden stars, I then arranged the stars on top of one another. For each set I had one red, one white and one blue star. After arranging, I used hot glue to attach each star on top of the other.

Once completed I had 3 different stars in patriotic colors.

I decided to hang mine outside on the siding of my house. I use these vinyl siding hooks from Amazon. These are so easy to use, move and hang items in my screened porch. They are under my screened porch, so I didn't add any outdoor protection. To hang these up I attached a hanger on the back of each star set. These hangers attach to the item with a peel and stick adhesive. You then can hang anything on a wall. I have used these to attach a hanger to many items that do not have a hanger on them.
