Patriotic Flag Using Ribbons

By Jennifer Howard

I love to decorate for the 4th of July. Check out my latest DIY project today!

What you will need

01

To make this ribbon flag I used 2 pre-packaged ribbon trim bundles from Michael's and a 24" flag dowel (I slid off the little flag)

Tie The Ribbons On

02

All you have to do is tie the ribbons onto the dowel! Just a simple knot.

Continue Across

03

Work your way across the dowel. Tying ribbons right next to each other.

It doesn't take long!

04

this is a pretty quick project! It took about 100 pieces of ribbon to fill up the 24 inch dowel. (varying widths)

Denim Square

05

To make the union patch in the left corner I cut an 8 inch square of old denim fabric.

Fabric Glue

06

I ran a bead of fabric glue around the edges of the denim and secured it in the corner.

Add A Star

07

To represent the stars I tied on a star ornament. You could handpaint a star onto the denim too.

Trim The Ends

08

I did a quick trim across the bottom of the flag to make the ribbons even.

Come see the rest of my Summer get together!
