Remembering Patriot Day, we wanted to create some flags to display on September 11. We found our inspiration from Crafts by Amanda and her Magazine Mosaic Flag.
You will need:
White stock card
Glue sticks
Red, White and Blue images from magazines
Scissors
With our first flag, we used the recommended size of 4" x 6 ". A smaller size requires less clippings but does require a great deal of fine motor dexterity.
With our subsequent flags we just used a letter size piece of white stock card.
To make it easier for kids to pattern the flags correctly, we drew light pencil marks. First we laid the paper as a landscape and drew a horizontal line through the middle. Then we make a box for the blue and stripes.
This is not a true reflection of a US flag so there are less than 13 stripes and no stars on the blue.
Now you have a flag to display in your window on Patriot Day.
