A Super Cute Kids Flag Craft!
Since the St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Hand Print was such a hit, I thought you all would love a patriotic American flag craft hand print to celebrate Memorial Day, Independence Day, or Veteran’s Day. Check out how cute it came out…
Star and Stripes Patriotic Hand Print Flag Craft
- craft paint (we used acrylic to make a brighter print)
- paint brushes
- light blue paper for print
- red paper for mounting
- white paint marker
- Paint a blue square on the palm of hand.
- Paint white and red alternating striped down the fingers.
- Press hand down onto light blue paper to make a print.
- Once dry add a star to the blue area using the white paint marker.
- Mount on slightly larger red paper to create a frame.
Hang this flag craft up for Memorial Day or the 4th of July. Or better yet, make it into a card to send out to a Veteran or Service Member.

This is just too cute. I’m definitely doing this for the next Memorial Day. I am thinking about creating hand print art for every holiday within a year and just make a calendar out of it.

Changing the square for a triangle I get my country's flag (Puerto Rico). Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

My son's kindergarten class made these on white t-shirts with fabric paint! They used glow-in-the-dark paint for the “white” spots and embellished the shirt using sponge star stamps. Super cute!
Great post!
