What is better than a flag in the summer time?

A vintage looking flag in the summertime, of course!

If you agree, grab a bunch of flags from your local cheap-o store.

Choose cotton or at least cotton blend.  Not those nylon ones - there is no chance of going vintage-esque with those.

If you prefer your flags to look like they might have actually been around since Betsy Ross, then follow my quick & simple tutorial.

Making Tea Stained Flags

  • Brew up some black tea in a large shallow pan.  Fill half way with hot tap water & add 4 tea bags.  That is about one tea bag per two cups of water. Let steep about 10 minutes & remove bags
  • Lay in your flags. Crossing them over is fine to have them fit 
  • Let them sit over night. ( the sitting doesn't count in your ten minutes ! )

In the morning you will have tea stained vintage looking flags to use every and anywhere.

Only takes a minute or two to stick the flags in vases, container pots outside or hang vertically here & there.

In 10 minutes or less of active DIY'ing & sticking you have vintage patriotic decor tucked in all over your house.

Betsy would be flattered!
