Paper Plate American Flag Craft at thatbaldchick.com

We are looking forward to summer and our favorite patriotic holidays. Our family has a family reunion every year around the 4th of July, but we love Memorial Day and Labor Day, too. What better way to help the kids celebrate and to instill a sense of patriotism than with this Paper Plate American Flag craft! I’m sure you figured out with our Paper Plate Sports Craft that we love paper plate crafts for their simplicity. A paper plate flag is just fun to make!
