Print Project

Step 1

First, click here to download and print the template; then cut out the shapes.

Step 2

Lay the flag-shaped template on the felt (red and white), draw around the template with a pen (or marker) and cut out. You will need to trace and cut two red flags and one white flag.
Tip: If you want your banner longer, cut out more pieces, alternating colors across the banner.

Step 3

Trace and cut out maple leaves (red ones for the white banners and white ones for the red banners). Glue the maple leaves onto the banners. Let dry.

Step 4

Decorate each banner using red and white glitter glue. Let dry.

Step 5

ADULT: Punch a hole at the top corner of each banner piece.

Step 6
Cut a piece of white yarn long enough for all your banner pieces to fit, plus extra to hang the banner. Thread the yarn through the holes, alternating red and white.
