Popsicle Stick Pirate Flags – Summer Kid 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 all ages!
Well shiver me timbers – our tutorial is the perfect craft for those young pirate lovers and it’s sure to get you in the mood of talking and acting like one too! 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 pirate themed creations, with us! Be sure to tag us on Facebook and/or Instagram, after you done making your pirate flags from wood craft sticks! I can’t wait to see how awesome they turn out! #gluedtomycrafts
