we got individual letters and 3 pieces of wood from joanns and gave everything a base coat of white and traced the outlines of the letters on the board so i wouldn't have the play with the spacing again.
I then drew in pencil where i wanted all the lines and taped them off to make my red stripes
it is a two stage process to get all of the lines in because my painters tape is wider than my stripes.
the letters drying
all the base lines are now done
then without any tape i extended the red lines down the sides and added the blue area, coloring the sides as well. The blue field was then finished off with little white stars
The somewhat finished piece. the letters will be nailed into the board from the back, but this will be done once they reach their final destination
