Tissue Paper Craft Stick Flag

We celebrate all of the holidays in our house. That includes things like Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, and President’s Day. Showing patriotism is important, and part of our daily life, so why not create something fun that goes along with those special days? This simple Tissue Paper Craft Stick Flag Craft is geared more toward the younger children, but it can also be a great idea for anyone. I love the idea of using this on a bigger scale with strips of pallet wood and some fabric for a larger decor piece to hang on our porch. What do you think?

I find this idea to be a great choice for doing with younger kids, but it would also be an excellent idea for teachers, homeschoolers, or parents wanting to talk more about freedom and patriotism. Sharing about our country and the freedoms we have is something every parent should be doing, and this makes it so easy to have fun while doing so!

How to Make a Craft Stick Flag

1. Begin by lining up 5-6 craft sticks together horizontally.

2. Now, you will use another craft stick at a diagonal angle, and glue each stick to it pushing them against each other to secure.

3. Next, you will tear pieces of the tissue paper and roll or crumble them between your fingers to rough them up but not destroy.

4. Now, turn the craft sticks over so the brace piece is facing down, and apply a thin line of glue on each craft stick then start applying tissue paper. You want to make this resemble a flag with a blue square on the upper left of the sticks, and red and white stripes alternating on the rest of the sticks.

5. Continue this process adding a few small pieces of white tissue paper inside the blue tissue paper square.

6. Now, you will display your flag!
