You could certainly do that and have one just as pretty. But the whole flag should not be used in this manner. You could check with your military loved ones. As a former Air Force officer and mom of Boy Scouts I hope you will change the tutorial to reflect this infomation if nothing else. Have a wonderful summer!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279790082535893399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384833637743503154.post-49466078534988186372012-06-10T09:26:38.419-04:002012-06-10T09:26:38.419-04:00Your beautiful display is evidence of your love fo...Your beautiful display is evidence of your love for our country and I know that you mean no harm... I just wanted to call your attention to the guidelines in place so that the flag doesn't become a prop for everyone to use in their wreaths and table settings! It is more than a beautiful textile, it is a representation of freedom and courage all around the world (as we military moms know!)<br /><br />You have a beautiful home and an exciting blog... thanks for hearing me out!chz2bhpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472630231579190862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384833637743503154.post-3247494788906614892012-06-09T07:10:40.639-04:002012-06-09T07:10:40.639-04:00I am sorry if I have offended anyone.

And currently, another one of my sons and my son-in-law are serving in the military. But thank you for pointing out some of the rules for displaying the US flag.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624667188803895684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384833637743503154.post-3593481145973105772012-06-08T16:38:15.272-04:002012-06-08T16:38:15.272-04:00I sure hope you won't be encouraging others to...I sure hope you won't be encouraging others to disrespectfully use our flag as home decor where it can touch the ground, be soiled, or knotted up... While I appreciate Gail's intentions in using this flag to decorate her home, this is in direct contradiction with the rules in place we have for its proper use. A simple google search will list these guidelines for those who are interested in maintaining the dignity of this national emblem.<br />That said, there are plenty of fabrics that bear the stars and stripes for use in decor that do so without offending others. Thanks so much!chz2bhpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472630231579190862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384833637743503154.post-16611818565172759732012-05-26T23:36:06.654-04:002012-05-26T23:36:06.654-04:00It's beautiful Gail!
