What you'll need:

1. Mini American flags. (I am using 4. if you have a larger area to cover get more.) You get 4 for $2.89 at Walmart.
2. Red, White, & Blue ribbon, buttons, jewels, or anything you want to add. 
3. Fabric glue (permanent) or double sided tape (non-permanent).
4. Scissors.
5. Binder Clips.
6. Hot glue gun.
7. Ruler or measuring tape.


What to do:

1.  Remove the mini flags from the stick. (You can use a staple remover. I just pulled them apart.)


2. Find the ribbon or twine you want to use and cut it to the desired length.






3. Lay out the ribbon or twine and place the flags on in an equal distance apart.

4. Use the binder clips to temporary attach the flags to the ribbon or twine and hold it up to the place where you'll be placing the banner. - You don't have to do this step I always do it to make sure it looks good and equal. If you want it to be absolutely perfect distance use a ruler or measuring tape.



5. Use fabric glue, hot glue gun, or double sided tape. Use whatever you want to use to secure the flags onto the ribbon or twine.

Here are the brands that I use.
All items can be found at Walmart.




6. Attach the binder clips until the glue has dried.



8. You can add little bows or what ever you want to make it a little more cute.



7.Attach the ribbons or whatever you have made with hot glue gun.


 8. Hang the banner & enjoy! <3
