Materials

Instructions

Paint

  • Start by laying out 35 clean corks on your work surface, seven rows high and five columns wide.
  • Paint 16 corks red, 13 corks white, and 6 corks blue.
  • Paint three wooden stars with the white paint.

For the base.

  • To prepare a cardboard base, carefully measure and cut out a six inch by nine inch base to use.
  • For scrap wood, make sure that you wood is clean and free of debris.
  • To use a frame as a base, carefully remove the glass and then make sure that the cardboard layer that was under the glass is clean and free of debris.
    You may need to cut out a new cardboard layer if yours is not usable or not present.

Attach the elements.

  • Starting at the bottom of your base, use your glue gun to attach five red corks in a row.
  • Next, attach a row of five white corks and then alternate gluing on red and white corks until your flag has four red stripes and three white stripes.
  • Add the six blue corks to the top left-hand corner of your flag to represent the field of stars.
  • Once all the corks have been glued in place, you can trim off any excess cardboard from the edges of your flag using your scissors.
  • For the hanger, measure and cut a 12” length of natural jute twine. Then flip your flag over on your work surface and attach the twine hanger to the top right and top left hand corners using your glue gun.
  • Lastly, use your paintbrush, in a dabbing motion, to add the holographic glitter acrylic craft paint to the three wooden stars to add some sparkle
