I love the 4th of the July holiday- barbeque’s, parades and just enjoying the lazy days of summer. Here is a fun and easy craft to do with your kids in less than 30 minutes.

CRAFT MATERIALS NEEDED:
Scissors
Pieces of red, white, and blue felt
Red, white, and blue ribbons (available at local craft stores)
Tacky glue
3/8-inch dowel

Time needed: 30 Minutes or Less
1. Cut a pair of 6-inch stars from red, white, or blue felt.

2. Cut a slightly smaller pair (ours were 4 inches across) from a different color of felt, and an even smaller pair (ours were 3 inches across) from the third color.

3. Use tacky glue to affix the stars to each other. Glue together the 2 sets of stars, sandwiching a 3/8-inch dowel between them.

4. Allow the glue to dry, then finish the baton by tying a length of red, white, and blue ribbon around the dowel.

Now you have your own festive and fun streamers for your local holiday parade. You can find other easy craft ideas at the Family Fun website. Happy 4th of July!
