How to Make a Repurposed Tablecloth DIY Patriotic Decor

You’re going to start this easy DIY patriotic decor craft by securing your 1-gallon paint sticks together with giant craft sticks. Lay 11 of the 1-gallon paint sticks side by side to create the wooden surface for your DIY sign. 

Then, hot glue the giant craft sticks across the paint sticks to secure them together. Let the glue dry, then apply a coat of Mod Podge to the front of the paint sticks. I applied the white part of the tablecloth (with red and blue stars) onto the Mod Podge. 

Use a rolling pin to smooth out any wrinkles, creases, or bubbles that formed, and let the Mod Podge dry. I used my heat gun to speed up the drying process. If you don’t have a heat gun, you can use a hairdryer on the low cool setting. 

Red, white, and blue

Now, it is time to make the hanger for this project! First, you need to paint your beads. I used Apple Barrel paints (the specific colors are in the supply list above). Put 7 beads into 3 little mixing bowls and spray them all with some water. 

Pour a bit of paint into each of the bowls and mixed the beads around until they are all coated in the paint. You can remove them from the bowls and use wet wipes to remove any excess paint from the beads. 

Set them to the side for now, because we have more tablecloth pieces to add to our DIY patriotic sign. I cut the red piece with white stripes into strips and used Mod Podge to adhere them to the sign. 

Then, I cut 3 rectangle patterns out of the tablecloth and placed them between the red stripes on the sign. Once all the pieces are adhered and dry, go around the edges of the sign and remove any excess tablecloth. 

Finally, thread your painted beads onto a piece of jute twine (add a dab of hot glue on the ends of the final beads to keep them all in place) and hot glue the ends of the jute twine to the back of the patriotic sign!
