Small Rustic Wooden American Flag – Hand-Painted Wall Art (17.5×9)
Painted by Deb’s Art Studio • Wood panel handcrafted by Kip’s Wood Shop • Made in Oregon
This small rustic wooden American flag combines Kip’s woodworking with Deb’s hand-painted artwork in a compact piece that fits easily into smaller spaces. Kip’s Wood Shop builds the pine panel by hand, and Deb’s Art Studio individually paints the stars, stripes, and color fields.
At 17.5 × 9 inches, it works well on a smaller wall, above a desk, in an entryway, or as part of a shelf or mantel display. Each flag follows the same overall design, but natural grain, knots, brushwork, and color variation give every finished piece its own character.

Production and Shipping Preparation
Each flag is individually handcrafted and painted. When a finished flag is available and ready to ship, it normally leaves our shop within 2–4 business days. Otherwise, please allow approximately 5–8 business days for production and preparation before shipment.
Carrier transit time begins after the order ships and varies by destination.
How It Is Made
Kip’s Wood Shop selects and prepares the pine, joins the boards, eases the edges, sands the surface, and builds the supporting back structure. Deb’s Art Studio then paints the stars and stripes by hand, allowing portions of the natural pine grain to remain visible. The completed flag is sealed and fitted with a centered sawtooth hanger.
Because every flag is made by hand, wood grain, knots, brushwork, and small painted details will vary from the photographs. These variations are expected and are part of the handmade character of the piece.
Where It Works Well
- Home offices, desks, and reading spaces
- Entryways, mantels, and shelf displays
- Patriotic gallery walls
- Classrooms, lodges, offices, and community spaces
- Military gifts, retirements, housewarmings, and commemorations
Hanging and Display
A centered sawtooth hanger is installed for one-point mounting. Use a properly rated screw, nail, or wall anchor suitable for your wall material. Wall-mounting hardware is not included.
The flag may also be displayed on a shelf or mantel when it is supported securely and protected from falling.
Care
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, abrasive cleaners, or harsh chemicals. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and high-moisture areas. Indoor display is recommended. A well-covered porch may be suitable, but direct exposure to rain, snow, or continuous outdoor weather is not recommended.
Handmade by Artistic Turtle
Artistic Turtle is a family-run collective centered on slow craft, honest materials, and work made by real people. This flag brings together Kip’s woodworking and Deb’s painting in one finished piece made in Oregon.

Is each flag handmade?
Yes. Kip’s Wood Shop builds the pine panel, and Deb’s Art Studio paints each flag individually. The general design remains consistent, but grain, knots, brushwork, and small painted details naturally vary.
How long does production take?
A finished, ready-to-ship flag normally ships within 2–4 business days. If a new flag must be made, allow approximately 5–8 business days for production and preparation before shipment. Carrier transit time is additional.
How do I hang the flag?
A centered sawtooth hanger is installed on the back. Hang the flag from a properly rated screw, nail, or wall anchor, then shift it slightly on the fastener to level it.
Can the flag be displayed outdoors?
The flag is intended primarily for indoor display. A well-covered porch may be suitable, but direct exposure to rain, snow, prolonged sunlight, or continuous outdoor moisture is not recommended.
Will my flag look exactly like the photographs?
The size, colors, and overall design will remain consistent, but natural grain, knots, brushwork, and small painted details vary. Each finished flag has its own handmade character.
Back Structure and Mounting
- A lightweight mitered pine perimeter frame supports the panel.
- One centered brace adds rigidity without unnecessary weight.
- A centered sawtooth hanger provides a simple mounting point.
- The approximately 1.5″ profile creates a defined shadow line when mounted.
