Instructions will make four (4) flags.

Supplies:
one sheet 8.5 "x 11" white cardstock
navy blue patterned paper with stars (or blue construction paper and star stickers)
scissors
trimmer
red ribbon or thin strips of red construction paper
Xyron 3" Sticker Maker
Xyron 1.5" Create-a-Sticker
hole punch
wooden BBQ skewer

Instructions:
1. Cut white cardstock in to four pieces (each piece will be 4.25" x 5.5").
2. Cut four pieces of blue paper to 2" x 2.5".
3. Run each piece of blue paper through Xyron 3" Sticker Maker. Remove the clear film. Set aside.
4. Run red ribbon/construction paper through Xyron 1.5" Create-a-Sticker (if strips are thin enough you can run them through two at a time - one next to the other). Remove the clear film.
5. Peel red ribbon/paper from backing and lay horizontally across the white cardstock, leaving space in between each piece. It is ok to overlap on either side - you can cut off the excess later.
6. Peel blue paper from backing and adhere to the top left corner of the white cardstock, covering some of the red ribbon/paper.
7. Cut off any excess (overlapping) ribbon/paper.
8. Punch a hole approx. ½" from the top and bottom left of the white cardstock.
