Craft Supplies:

Large Paper Plate {one per flag craft}
Red Craft Paint
White Craft Paint
Washi Tape or Painter’s Tape
Dark Blue Cardstock Paper
Foam Paint Brush
Hand Held Stapler
Kid Friendly Craft Scissors

Directions:

First tape off your paper plate with the washi tape. Your lines don’t have to be perfect but you will want each section to be about the same thickness.
Now squirt some RED craft paint in the center of the paper plate.
Have children move the paint around and completely cover the plate.
Once done, quickly remove the washi tape stripes {some paper plate might come up with it but that’s alright}
To finish off the Paper Plate Flag, cut out a small rectangle from the blue cardstock, add some “stars” with the white craft paint and then staple it onto the paper plate to complete the flag design.
Then display proudly! Don’t forget to share pictures with us when you are done! #gluedtomycrafts
