The wooden flag thing is pretty popular right now. I can see how a creative brain can get there. When she laid all the brushes out together, I'm like, "you could make a flag out of those" 😂

Absolutely love this !!!!

Hi Kelly! You outdid your self with this one. This is crafting. Taking wire brushes and making a beautiful, artistic flag is what it is all about. It came out amazing. This is one craft I will definitely be re-creating. Just incredible. Thank you Kelly for sharing this wonderful DIY with us.

Great project! My husband is a vet and I know he would love something like that. Beautiful!

[@margueritepeaden3445]

I see commercially produced art pieces all the time that don’t have fifty stars. You can just tell anybody that criticizes that it was the flag for the period from 1822-1836. That’s when there were twenty four stars on the flag. Yours turned out very rustic and cute. I’d love to know what goes on inside that head of yours that sees wire brushes and says antique American flag. I think of myself as somewhat creative but I swear it would never just come up with that out of the blue.

[@barbaramobley8845]

I'm with you! My brain just doesn't work like that! But I just love the wavy look! 🇺🇲

[@KellyBarlowCreations]

Lol I sure wish I knew how I come up with it, I just saw flag stripes when I looked at the wood on these brushes, 🤔😋🧡👍🏻☀️

[@KiKiQuiQuiKiKi]

Plus, if Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 becomes a state, you’d need 51 stars!

[@Lilpup1227]

I was thinking the same thing watching this video where does Kelly come up with these ideas...I just aimlessly walk my dollar tree and think I don't know what to do with these items and yes people tell me I'm crafty as well but I would never have looked at those wire brushes and thought oh let's make the flag....love your videos.....

Thank you for this DIY. I love it. I made out son the American flag one out of the tower blocks and he still loves it. I made a frame for it and added fairy lights all around on the inside of the frame. I think that tutorial was about 2 or 3 years ago. Love how created you are. I’ll try to send you a picture on fb of the tower blocks flag. Take care and stay safe. Oh yeah, Happy New Year!!

The rope smells like a petroleum product to me but I don't mind. My dad was a delivery oil man for a while and it brings back memories!

[@sueashworth560]

Mine. Smelled the same so won’t use it

[@bethbrodhacker1027]

It 8s beautiful

[@SkyBlueCheri]

Mine doesn’t have any smell. Some people may just be hyper sensitive to smells.

[@mattiesful]

Mine smells too. Not all of it. But i've already had to throw away some bundles of the rope because I wouldn't bring it in the house. That's how strong the smell was... I have purchased the white rope and it doesn't have an odor so far.

[@alicelorek9515]

Oh I know exactly what your talking about. I used to work for a store and when we got in new clothes they had that same smell. I always wash my clothes before wearing them because of that. Other products have it too...it does usually air out. I guess it's just something they use in processing!!!

[@cookingwithgramma9954]

Very nice Kelly. I am american but married a Canadian 43 years ago but still love my flag. My daughter is obsessed with anything that looks american, so may have to try this one. As soon as we are out of lock down here in Ontario Canada I will go to our dollar tree or dollarama and get the supplies needed.

Hey, Kelly! Happy January 4th, 2021. Since we are all staying at home to keep safe, could you please create a version of your flag for your Canadian viewers? By the way, we in Cape Breton have also been "snowed in" for the past 4 days! The snowplow finally came to clear my driveway this afternoon so the caregivers can come to see me tomorrow...unless it snows again tonight. Laughing is keeping me sane!!

If you want a cool thing to do with all those bristles, go to Nelco Neco’s channel where she makes mini Christmas trees! She uses something different, but I think those could work, too.

The petroleum or kerosene smell that comes from the jute twine and nautical rope is there cuz it's to detour bugs and rodents. If you mix white distilled vinegar and water equal part and spray or soak the rope in the vinegar water.

So dang cute! When it's 'artisric value' like you said, it's ok if it isn't 50 stars. If someone complains they need a real life. I don't have time to worry about such silliness. I enjoy watching you do DIYs, sometimes I actually get to do one or two, and I do put my own spin on some. That's ok, too. Sometimes I get inspired from what you are doing and incorporate it with the things I already have. I just got a bit of an inspiration from whatever you might have been doing at the time. Keep on doing what you do. Continue taking good care of your precious family, and continue your awesome videos. Thanks Kelly.
