Celebrate the 4th of July while showing your American Pride by making some affordable DIY Patriotic Decor for your Home. This Paint Stick American Flag will have you ready to pledge allegiance and start belting out the Star Spangled Banner!
This Paint Stick American Flag was a fun and easy project we made in my private subscription group, The CRafterparty.
We make a LOT of super cute projects in there, but one thing I try really hard to do is to make things that have very basic, affordable supplies that everyone can get.
I also try really hard to make them cute!
I think this Patriotic Flag decor checks allllllll the boxes. Don’t you?
Paint sticks make super versatile craft supplies and if you haven’t crafted with them yet, I suggest you start.

I decided to go with a more rustic vibe rather then the super bright red, white and blue 4th of July theme, but you could make this however you like. Heck, you could even go the non-patriotic route and make a sunflower flag *hint hint*
I used a blue distressed scrapbook paper, and decided to go with one large star, cornered by a few smaller ones.
For the “red” and “white”, clearly I didn’t go with plain colors. I intentionally went with a variety of different yet coordinating red and white/neutral patterns. I even threw in some leopard print for fun!
A super chunky wood bead hanger was just what this one needed. Alternating sizes like I did here is a nice way to give it some character.
All in all, this Paint Stick American Flag is simple, yet classy and cute!
Isn’t this just the most awesome Patriotic Flag decor that you’ve ever seen!?
It would be perfect on your front door for the 4th as well.
