Pirate Flag Craft Idea

If you caught my Popsicle Stick Flag post the other day – you already know how easy today’s post is going to be.

All I did was take the same concept of that particular kid craft tutorial and change it up for a pirate theme, that goes along perfectly with the summer months. Again – it’s a super easy, inexpensive and fun for kids of all ages!

Well shiver me timbers – our pirate craft tutorial is the perfect art project idea for those younger kids who want to make their own red & black flag and it’s sure to get you them in the mood of talking & acting like a pirate as well! So put everything away on the “ship” and tie everything down because a storm is brewing in the craft world! It’s time to get out the full tutorial below!

Happy crafting lads! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished pirate themed creations, with us!
