DIY Patriotic Letter board

Diy patriotic letter board

Hi friends, Alli here from Partyography! I don’t know about you guys but I’ve totally been crushing on DIY letter boards for a while now. I never could decide on a color scheme but now with summer around the corner, I was in need of some patriotic decorating ideas and that’s where this patriotic letter board came in! Memorial Day all the way through Labor Day, I’ve got you covered on the red, white and blue with this Patriotic Letter board. 

DIY Patriotic Letterboard Tutorial by Partyography on Love the Day

Materials Needed:

  • White frame (Mine was this 16″x 20″ one from Ikea)
  • Red, blue & white felt
  • Scissors (or rotary cutter)
  • 12″ Wooden dowels (I used skewers from the Dollar Store but would recommend something sturdier)
  • Glue gun and glue
  • Letters (I bought this mega pack because I don’t think it’ll be my last letter board!)
  • Wood stars
  • White spray pain

To start, you can remove the glass and backing from the frame so it’s empty. Next, cut the red and white felt into strips about 1.5″ by 12″. The length of your strips depends on the size of your dowels. You want to make sure the dowel is long enough to fit inside the back of the frame.  If you’re using a different size frame you’ll need to adjust the size of your dowels and strips.

I used 5 dowels per stripe on the flag, so you’ll need 15 red covered dowels and 15 white covered dowels. As you can see, when gluing, you want to make sure the dowel is pushed all the way to the edge.

Next, you’ll need to cut more felt strips, only this time they’ll be 1.5″ by 6″. I used 35 pieces of blue felt, 20 pieces of red felt, and 15 pieces of white felt. For these dowels, you’ll be combining red and blue (or white and blue) so each color covers half the dowel.

Don’t worry about making them perfect! As you can see, my blue doesn’t line up in the end result but I kind of like it that way! Once you have all of the felt covered dowels ready, you can place them into the frame so that the dowel is face down. Some tutorials recommend gluing each dowel into place. Mine fit snuggly enough so I didn’t take the time to do that.

Once all dowels are in place, you can replace the backing on the frame and flip it over for the big reveal! The final step is to spray paint the stars white and add them onto the blue square. I used adhesive squares but you could certainly glue them into place as well. And now the real fun begins! You get to pick what phrases and words to use on your board, your kids might enjoy doing this as well.

I hope you have fun making your own patriotic themed letter board! Leave a comment and let us know what phrase you would display!

    I absolutely LOVE this!!! I can’t stand to touch felt or fleece (it makes me shudder) but I may just work through the pain to make one of these for myself. 🙂

  • Happy Saturday!! What are you crafting this weekend?! I’ve been making a million of these heart flags/stands from the designs available in my Rainbow Bundle. I’m obsessed with them. Wouldn’t they be perfect for a rainbow-themed birthday party or baby shower?! And yes!! Your Cricut Maker can cut wood! #LTDcrafts #cricutmade #cricutcreations #svgcuttingfiles #craftersofinstagram
  • This is a HOPE post for a smaller population that I don’t talk much about here on Instagram. This post is for the immunocompromised community and for families who have had to be SUPER careful this last year because they’ve been keeping themselves or their high risk loved ones safe from COVID. It’s for those who know how extremely difficult medical and health challenges are and how scary this virus has been for us. 

Personally, we’ve been working to keep Ry, my husband, alive for the last ten years and to say we were terrified of him getting COVID is an understatement. It’s been a long, lonely year at home, but oh so worth it. 

But less about that and more about HOPE! Ry and I were able to receive the vaccine under the B1 category of the Texas vaccination roll-out and today I went out to lunch with my best friend! It was my first time in a restaurant in almost a year and it felt glorious. And just to sit and chat with her made me nearly explode with joy. I mean I love Marco Polo as much as the next person, but to sit across from her was heavenly. 

Hope is here for the immunocompromised community and our family is so, so grateful to the medical and science community for all their tireless work this last year. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And to those of you who are compromised waiting for a vaccine….keep trying!! We spent hours and hours putting ourselves on waiting lists. They are getting easier to find and receive! #covidvacccine #vaccine #hashimotosdisease #hopeforthefuture #craftersofinstagram
  • Do you have someone in your life who is pure magic? I sure do! @leads_by_mandi_jackson is pretty magical and makes my life so much better. Because it’s been one heck of a year, I think we all  should express love to our magic family and friends. Life is short and goodness, the world needs it. ⁣
⁣
If you have someone in your life that is magic, I want to hear all about them!! Tag them here and tell me why they are so great. Both of you will have a chance to win my Rainbow Bundle (that includes these printable tags). #LTDprintables #svgcuttingfiles #cricutcreations #craftersofinstagram #craftinessishappiness

  • Let the madness begin!! It’s that time again! If you follow or are into college basketball, you absolutely need this March Madness oversized bracket. It’s so easy to print (I get ours printed at UPS) and hang on the wall (hello @command strips) during the tournament. I love seeing pictures of people who put it up in their work offices, garages and homes and seeing how much fun they have filling it out! You can find the link to the file in my bio. #marchmadness #basketballislife #collegebasketball #ncaabasketball #printables
  • Continuing on with all things rainbow!! Today I
  • What a week! We are starting to thaw out here in Texas, but it’s been a doozy. Despite the catastrophic damage, inconveniences and lack of supplies on shelves, it’s been amazing to see people come together and help one another. There really is something to the Texas spirt that inspires people to think of others over self. ⁣
⁣
That being said, we’re ready for warmer weather! Bring on the sun and ALL the rainbows! ⁣
⁣
My rainbow SVG & Printable Bundle is LIVE and today I’m sharing how to create a Rainbow Cake Topper three different ways. You can make this topper with or without a Cricut Machine out of felt, paper or a printable! Head to my blog or YouTube to check it out. #ltdprintables #makeitwithmichaels #cricutmade #svgcuttingfiles #svgfilesforcricut #papercrafting #craftersofinstagram
  • It might be 2 degrees here in Texas (what is even happening 🥶🥶?!), but all I’m seeing is rainbows! My latest bundle is live and in my shop. I’m pretty obsessed with it because C….O…..L….O…..R!!!! ⁣
⁣
I can’t wait to show you how to turn the bundle files into: cake toppers, garlands, heart skewers stands, Cricut print & cut gift tags and vinyl signs! ⁣
⁣
The options with these files are endless! I can’t wait to see what you do with them. Head to my blog to learn more about the bundle. #svgcuttingfiles #svgfilesforcricut  #rainbowtheme #printables #diyideas #makeitwithmichaels #cricutmade
  • It’s hard to believe, but our very last Valentine’s Box is finished!  This is a yearly task that most parents loathe, but for some reason we absolutely adore it. We love taking something our daughters are really into and turning it into a physical box. ⁣
⁣
We love the excuse to spend the weekend together, brainstorming construction and giggling away as we create the box. This year, my Star Wars-obsessed daughter knew EXACTLY what she wanted. This is the helmet of Bo-Katan, her favorite character in The Mandalorian. We are all about #girlpower over here so we jumped on it and went to work. We used papier-mâché for the first time and can’t stop laughing that the helmet box is as big is she is.⁣
⁣
It was the perfect box and memory to end this fabulous tradition. I’m not quite ready, but farewell Valentine’s Box days. Middle school Valentine-angst here we come. #bokatan #themandalorian #starwarsart #diyideas #valentinesdaybox #usetheforce
