Here at Dollar Store Crafts, we love our placemats! They have to be one of the easiest items to transform into fantastic craft projects. Brittany at Pretty Handy Girl created this eye-catching yard flag by embellishing a dollar store placemat. She wants to encourage the weather to give her some of the white stuff! [how to make a yard flag out of a placemat]
Brittany embellished her placemat with Tulip Shimmer Sheets and Fabric paint, but you can use anything you want to decorate your yard flag. Craft acrylic paint will work well, and you can use craft glue and sprinkle with glitter (not sure how the glitter will hold up in the elements, though!)
Project Estimate:
- 2 placemats, $2
- (optional) Tulip Shimmer Iron-on Sheets, $14.99
- Paint, on hand
- Sewing machine (or needle & thread), on hand
Total: $2 and up

Don’t forget – we need the flag stand, too! Is that something you can normally find at the DS? I think I may have seen the flags there, but not sure about the stands … The flag turned out so cute!
