4th of July Pom Pom Flag Craft

This adorable and flexible 4th of July pom pom flag can be used in many ways.

Materials:

• glue gun with glue sticks
• metallic red, white, and blue pom poms(1/4 inch size)
• small clear rhinestone crystals
• 1.5x2 inch piece of blue felt

Directions:

1. Put a dab of glue on each blue pom pom and line them up on the blue felt piece.
2. Apply little dabs of glue to the top of the blue pom poms and put a rhinestone crystal on top to make the stars. About 12 is good or you could go all out and do 50.
3. Use the glue gun to make a 2 lines of 5 red pom poms and 1 line of 5 white pom poms. These will be the lines next to the blue field. Hold each line in place until the glue hardens.
4. Glue together 2 more lines of red and white with 10 pom poms each. Now you have 4 long lines, 2 red, 2 white.
5. Start with the short red line and glue to the right of the blue field. Apply glue along the red line and attach the white line. Continue this process down the flag. A proper American Flag has a red stripe at the top and bottom.

You can do several things with this flag;

• You could glue the whole thing to some cardboard for a display.
• You could attach a dowel and stick in a planter.
• Attach magnets and put on the refrigerator.
• Wear it.
• You could also scale it up and do the same craft with big pom poms.
