Unfortunately, I have finished most of my patriotic cross stitching projects that have (I'm embarassed to confess!) been ongoing for some time(months, ok some for years)after July 4th. I was determined to finish them since they had been started...but I did dream of them being tossed about the house, in a cute manner of course BEFORE the big patriotic weekend. Alas....life gets in the way and I finished them AFTER the big event.
I took some prim star fabric and decoupaged it to the mat....framing the print. Nothing else seemed to fit!
I covered the mat with decoupage...stretched the fabric slightly over it, smoothed out any wrinkles and let it dry outside on the deck in the 104 degree temperature. I love how it turned out. It really was simple.

What a sweet project, Debbie. Now you're all set for next July 4th ;) I sure know how that goes...
Which reminds me that I need to start on some FALL stitcheries and projects. Especially a couple of things that didn't quite make it last year...
Happy Weekend!
That looks so great! I started a latch hook rug for my nieces' bedroom when they were like 5 and 8. I still haven't finished it. The older one is in her 30s now. lol Feel better? :)
I love how it turned out!
Those are so pretty! Isn't it fun to put things around the house for special occasions?
