STEP ONE
Gather all supplies. To create the flag base, line up seven jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Basecoat the front and sides of three craft sticks with white acrylic craft paint. Basecoat the front and sides of four craft sticks with red acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary.
STEP TWO
Basecoat a wooden star shape with white acrylic craft paint.
Once dry, apply an even layer of silver glitter glue to the white wooden star. Or use the star pattern provided.
STEP THREE
Line up the painted craft sticks alternating red and white on your work surface. Flip the craft sticks over. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the flag and attach them with a glue gun and glue sticks.
TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP FOUR
Download and print the FLAG PATTERNS. Cut out patterns with scissors. Using a pencil, trace the flag’s star field onto blue craft foam. Cut out with scissors.
You can also use construction paper, colored cardstock, or craft felt for this project.
STEP FIVE
Attach the blue star field to the top left-hand corner of the craft stick flag with a glue gun and glue sticks. Once dry, glue the silver star on top of the blue rectangle.
STEP SIX
Measure and cut assorted baker’s twine, ribbon, and natural jute twine into 12” lengths to become the hanger.
Flip the flag over and attach the hanger to the top right and left-hand corners with a glue gun and glue sticks.
