For Blue Monday today I thought I would post pictures of a distressed looking American Flag that I have displayed in one of my rooms at our vacation home on the Colorado River in Parker, Arizona.
I bought a unfinished frame and painted it blue and I distressed that to look old too. I added wire as the hanger on top attached to two eye hooks. The background of stars is material I have also framed and attached the flag to it. You can't tell in the picture but this is a large size picture frame.

It looks very beautiful. And blue...The background material is a great choice. You did a wonderful job!

That is lovely and special.

I wish you'd given the measurements. It's hard to imagine the size. I like the way you framed it. Happy Blue Monday.
Oh nice one for blue MOnday!
I love the look of distressed wood - frames, cupboards, tables. The frayed corners of the flag was an inspiration too! Well done!
That looks so beautiful!
Somehow the unfinished edges makes it more charming and perfect is the frame for it.
Happy Blue Monday!

How nicely you've set off the flag. It's a treasure anyone would be proud to display.
Makes me want to stand up and sing, "God Bless America!" I love the material your used. Well done, girl!

I love this and love that you used fabric as a background instead of a matt as I would have been tempted to do. Just lovely!
