I don’t have the original source for this one, I’m sorry to say, but I first saw it on Cascade Yarns’ Facebook page a couple of days ago and someone who commented on the post had a link to a pin for it.

Today, like yesterday, I’m feeling a bit patriotic. I stumbled across this flag over at PB&J Stories where Pamela made a fun and rustic American flag to decorate for the 4th of July.

Love the idea of this garland made from paper fans. It’s so simple that you could have the kids mass produce these fans for you.
They would make a great backdrop for an Asian themed dinner party. You could use Printed newspapers for a more subtle effect.…

Any idea what this cool flag used to be? Well, I guess I kind of gave it away in the title of the post, huh?

I’m willing to bet most crafters and artists have a certain amount of pins and buttons in their stashes. As far as supplies go, those are pretty basic. But there’s nothing basic about the way artist Ran Hwang uses buttons and pins to create gorgeous, giant art installations. Her subjects range from birds and flowers to architecture and design, but …
