I made a couple different variations of it as you can see pictured below. Since it can be made to work for all different ages it’s a great Independence Day Craft for the family.

A Piece of Advice

For a fun twist for older children, have them come up with a few words that remind them of the Fourth of July and stamp them with small letter stamps on the flag.

2. Create the Flag Stripes

Use the red and white washi tape to cover the large piece of card stock in stripes like a flag. If you want to add the stamped letters, make sure to leave white spaces between your stripes.

3. Add the Stars

Add glue to the back of your blue and white star piece and glue it onto your striped flag.

4. Make a Hanger for Your Flag

Use your hole punch to punch holes in the top corners of your flag, and tie a knot through each hole with a piece of string to make a hanger for your flag.

Final Product

Here is my 3 1/2 year old’s completed flag:   You’ll have to make sure to leave some of the white card stock showing through as some of the stripes if you do it this way so you have something to stamp on.
