4th of July Project: Popsicle Stick Flag Craft

I love to involve my kids in holiday celebrations, and this fun Popsicle Stick Flag Craft is a good one because not only do they love making these, but they serve a fun decorations or place settings as well! These are easy to make, so they work for a wide variety of ages, and this is also a very fun project for a classroom, scouting, pre-school or Sunday school type setting.

They are easy to stick into the ground (or planters) as well, so once you are done, they are fun to decorate with!

Materials:

Popsicle Sticks (you’ll need 11 sticks for 1 flag)
Elmer’s Glue
Acrylic Paint in red, white and blue. I used:

Apple Barrel 20501 Bright Red

Apple Barrel 20773 English Navy

White Acrylic Paint – Miscellaneous/store brand

Paint Brush, water and paper towel to dry brushes
Star Stickers (I picked mine up at wal mart in the scrapbook section for a buck!)

Flag Crafts

If you’re making several of these at once, you may want to glue them together and let them dry for a few hours or overnight. You may also want to add the final stick if you’re going to make these ahead of time.
