Stars, Stripes, and Salvage
Welcome back on this Memorial Day Monday for Stacie’s Vintage Ventures at Camp Gilmore! 🇺🇸
Today I’m sharing a fun and easy parade flag holder DIY to use as a centerpiece, porch accent, or patriotic table display all summer long. All you need are a few architectural pieces (vintage or new ), some plastic or metal federal eagle flag pole toppers, and a drill!
I had some vintage wooden spools on hand and mixed them with simple salvage pieces I picked up at Scott’s Antique Market a few weeks ago. I especially love the ornate antique parade flag holders that can sell for hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars. They were originally used to display and store flags after parades, and the small flags fit perfectly in them.
These add such a nostalgic Americana touch and make a big impact for all the American Summer 250 celebrations ahead! 🇺🇸
Whether you use true vintage finds or newer architectural salvage pieces, they are simple to make and look so charming grouped together.
