DIY Flag Planter

If you like a good flag project, you will love this DIY flag planter for your outdoor space to fill with beautiful flowers!

I teamed up with Coupons.com to create a DIY outdoor 4th of July project.

This DIY flag planter is one of my favorite projects to date!

I love showing off patriotic flair in my outdoor spaces and this planter is a great addition.

It mixes my love of the red, white, and blue and my green thumb.

DIY Flag Planter Box Design

I designed this planter, but did ask the hubs to cut the wood and put it together for me. He’s such a champ! I did go pick out and purchase the wood myself if that counts!

I have included dimension if you want to try to create one yourself. It is very basic.

DIY Flag Planter Paint

After the planter was put together, I painted the front to look like a flag.

I applied 2 coats of each color.

I painted the rest of the crate with a neat glaze I found from Martha Stewart called Black Coffee.

It has just a hint of metallic to it, and almost makes the wood look stained!

I only applied one coat since I’m going for a slight rustic look and wanted some of the wood to show through.

DIY Doily Button Stars
I did not have a good template on hand to use for my stars so I improvised!

I rummaged through my acrylic stamp collection and found some doily button stamps that I thought would really help add to the vintage heirloom feel I was going for.

To use the stamp with regular paint I applied the paint directly to the stamps with a small paintbrush, blotted the stamp once, then stamped lightly on to the planter.

DIY Patriotic Planter
Because the red and white looked super bright and not “antique” enough I used a rag to lightly apply some of the Black Coffee glaze on top of the flag.

It gave it that slight rustic look I was going for!

I love how the planter turned out!

And I can turn it around and use the back side if I want to and not show the flag.
