Button Flags

I'm going to be very busy the next few days so am not going to have time to make or bake anything to share with you - instead of doing the usual 'Thru the Years' posts tho I'm going to do some reruns of things to make leading up to the Fourth of July; today it's this really fun kid (or adult!) craft idea making button flags.

Here's the original post from 2018:

My friend Lisa loves crafting with her nieces (she calls them "the littles" awww), she put this on Facebook and I asked if I could steal it to share with you guys - how cute is this idea? Here's her notes on how they did it:

Had the littles over and we made the American Flag! You can see each one has there own style! As my niece said “there is no right or wrong way in art”! She is 5. Out of the mouths of babes! Oh I treasure them.

I bought the burlap canvas at Hobby Lobby, bought the buttons on Amazon. Used tacky glue and some patriotic ribbon to hang up or not. I just free hand the outline for a guideline for them and the kids where off running with it.
