• magnet strip

Directions:

1. Fist, cut a rectangle exactly the same size as the craft sticks lined up together.
2. Beforehand, paint 4 Popsicle sticks red, and 4 white. Allow to dry. Or use pre colored craft sticks.
3. Spread glue on the cardboard rectangle and glue on the Popsicle sticks in alternating colors. Allow to dry.
4. Use tape to section off a small rectangle in the upper left corner of the flag. About 4 sticks and half the length is good.
