DLTK's Crafts for Kids USA Flag Bag Craft Fill with candies or popcorn to nibble on while you watch fireworks (or if you're a 2 year old like my daughter -- dump the popcorn, ignore the party and fill the bag with rocks you pick up off the ground *grin*). Materials: You will need:  something to colour with, scissors, glue, and paper (I prefer construction paper). OPTIONAL:  string, wool or ribbon.

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.
   
• Colour (where appropriate).
   
• Cut out the template along the outside lines.   Cut along the dotted lines (this will be the bag's bottom.  Younger kids may need help with this (it can be pre-done prior to colouring).
   
• Imagine a line extending up from the dotted lines you cut.  Fold along these imaginary lines, fold the GLUE tab and fold up the tabs for the bag's bottom
   
• Put glue on the glue tab (or tape) and glue it to the inside of the bag.
   
• Put glue on the tabs for the bags bottom and carefully press together.
   
• Attach a piece of string, wool or ribbon to make a handle (or cut another piece of paper for the handle).
   

Templates: 

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
    
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
