Start off first by painting 4 craft sticks white and 4 craft sticks red.
Once the sticks are dry, paint a portion of 2 red and 2 white sticks blue. Allow to dry!
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.
Hand paint, stamp or use stickers for your stars. (not shown in steps picture)
This step is optional but we sanded ours a little with sandpaper just to give it that aged flag look.
Lastly, attach a magnet to the back of your flag. We used one .75 inch adhesive magnet to hold it up.
