Lay 35 wine corks on your work surface, 7 rows tall and 5 columns wide.

Separate the corks for painting; 16 red, 13 white, and 6 blue.

Paint the 16 wine corks with red paint, 13 wine corks with white paint, and 6 wine corks with blue paint. Allow corks to dry fully.

Paint 3 wooden stars white.

Cut out a 6″ x 9 ” rectangle of scrap cardboard.

Starting at the bottom, attach 5 red corks in a row using a glue gun and glue sticks. Add a row of 5 white corks, then alternate red and white until the flag has four red stripes and three white stripes.

Add the six blue corks to the top left-hand corner of the flag to represent the field of stars. Glue the stars onto the blue corks.

Once all the corks are glued in place, trim excess cardboard from the edges with scissors.

Measure and cut a 12” length of natural jute twine.

Flip the flag over and glue the ends of the jute twine to the top right and top left-hand corners with a glue gun and glue sticks.

Using a paintbrush in a dabbing motion, add the holographic glitter acrylic craft paint to the three wooden stars to add some sparkle.
