Celebrate the country's birthday with the fanfare it's due -- waving a handmade fan that looks like the American flag.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| 17- by 5 1/2-inch piece of white paper
Ruler Pencil Red and blue markers Pushpin Plastic drinking straws Paper fastener Tape | |
| Seasons: Fourth of july | |
| Materials: markers, paper, straws | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | In the upper left-hand corner of the paper, measure and mark a rectangle that's 8 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches high. Draw rows of stars within the rectangle and then color around them with blue marker. |
| 2. | Divide the rest of the paper into stripes and color every other one red. Now fold the paper accordion style. |
| 3. | Create a frame for the fan by using the pushpin to poke a hole through each straw, 1 inch from the bottom. Then, join the three straws with the paper fastener. |
| 4. | Spread apart the top of the straw frame, fit the flag onto the frame, and tape it in place. |
