“What better way to get in the 4th of July mood! My name is Nicholas Cornell. I am Ohio born and raised, I’ve been living in Central Texas for the last 5 years and I love it here.

I’m very patriotic and I love my country, I saw a man on Facebook with a similar photo and that’s what inspired me to take it to another level. I used red masking tape and just cut pieces that would go from collar bone to waist, then had my fiancé make sure everything was straight.

She applied the stars so they were even. She luckily sat outside with me on the pool deck because as I sweat the stars and stripes began to slide and move, so she made sure they were staying straight. It turned out fantastic! Everything I used was $1.50 star stickers and red masking tape from Walmart.

I just wanted to be ready for the 4th of July party I’m having. I try to do something new each year to show my patriotism.”
