INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Cut burlap into your flag shape of choice. They also sell burlap banner kits, that are precut, at most craft stores. Measure out how long you’d like your banner and determine how many flags you’ll need.

Step 2: Tape stripes down half the burlap flags using painters tape.

Step 3: Paint the tapes off flags with red paint, dabbing with a sponge brush. Allow to dry before peeling off the tape.

Step 4: Paint the other half of the burlap flags with blue acrylic paint, covering the entire flag. Allow to dry.

Step 5: Using the eraser part of a pencil, dip it into white paint and stamp polka dots onto the blue flags.

Step 6: Hot glue a piece of twine to the back of the flags and tie a piece of ribbon in between the flags, as shown in the photo below.

Step 7: Hang and display your new patriotic banner!
