Directions for creating a popsicle stick American flag craft
1. Start off first by painting 4 craft sticks white and 4 craft sticks red.
2. Once the sticks are dry, paint a portion of 2 red and 2 white sticks blue. Allow drying!
3. Turn over (caution: be sure you reverse the order so it turns out right when flipped... not that I did that wrong or anything the first time.. haha) and glue on your card stock/cardboard backing.
4. Hand paint, stamp or use stickers for your stars. (not shown in steps picture)
5. This step is optional but we sanded ours a little with sandpaper just to give it that aged flag look.
6. Lastly, attach a magnet to the back of your flag. We used a one .75 inch adhesive magnet to hold it up.
