Simple 4th Of July American Flag Craft

Recreating the red, white, and blue has never been easier — and more fun. Make your own fluffy stamps using pom poms, then stamp the colors onto the card stock. Simple!

What you'll need:

• 3 clothespins
• 3 pom poms (any color)
• Scrap paper
• Acrylic paint in red, white, and blue
• White card stock

Instructions:

1. Create your stamps by closing a clothespin around three different pom poms. It doesn't matter what color pom poms you use, but you can use a red, white, and blue one if you want to make it easier to match the paint colors.

2. Place a dab of red and blue paint onto a piece of scrap paper. You can also use a paper plate, if you'd like.

3. Dip a pom pom into blue paint, then stamp the upper left-hand corner of the card stock to create the blue part of the flag.

4. Dip a pom pom into red paint, then stamp red stripes across the card stock.

5. Allow the paint to dry.

6. Place a dab of white paint onto the piece of scrap paper.

7. Dip a pom pom into the white paint, then stamp the "stars" of the flag on top of the blue paint.

8. Allow your kid's masterpiece to dry, then display it proudly!
