Make an American flag from an old car tag.
Approximate Time: 30 minutes
Supplies:
- old car tag (license plate)
- spray paint (red or white)
- acrylic paint
- sealer
- star stencil
- wire
Instructions:
Spray paint the tag (license plate) using either red or white. That way you will only have to paint one set of stripes. Let dry.
- Paint on your blue background for stars, let dry.
- Paint on your other colored stripes, let dry.
- Use your star stencil to paint on the stars. You can free hand if you like or don't have a stencil.
- When the stars are dry paint with glitter paint.
- When completely dry, seal with acrylic sealer and let dry.
- Put wire in holes at top of tag. Hang and enjoy. Great for the upcoming 4th.

I love this, you can hang anywhere, like your porch, on your pool fence. A great way to say I love the U.S.A.

What a cute idea !!
This will look great on a porch, or near the door.
And your directions were easy to understand.
I believe this is an item that the younger cub scouts could do, and yet it is also one that the older kids would like to do as well !!
