Learn how to make a patriotic stamped flag banner with this easy tutorial. This is a fun craft to do for the Fourth of July! An easy craft for kids to do, too!

The Fourth of July is almost here and I had a teeny bit of time to do a holiday craft this weekend!  It took three days of working on it with my four year old in little bits at a time, but here it is.  You can make one of these flag banners, too.

How to make a stamped flag banner:

Supplies needed:

  • red, white, and blue craft paint
  • foam board
  • x-acto knife
  • linen or other neutral fabric – burlap could work if you wanted a really rustic look
  • heat bond tape
  • sticks from your yard or dowels
  • yarn or ribbon to hang it with

1. Cut your fabric to the desired size. I made my flag about 15″x12″. You will want to have an additional 3 inches at the top to roll over to make a sleeve for the stick or dowel to slide through.

2. Cut your shapes out of foam with an x-acto knife.

3. I just did a square with a star in the middle, a short stripe and a long stripe.

4. Load your shapes up with craft paint.  Press firmly onto the fabric and hold for a few seconds, then gently lift the stamp up.

5. Once it dries, iron a strip of heat bond on the top and fold over to make a little tube for your stick to slip through.

6. Tie some ribbon or yarn to each end to hang it up, and ta-da!  All done.
