Flag Pinwheel Hair Bow

You know those $1 little flags you can get anywhere? I made one into a Flag Pinwheel Hair Bow. 

I really liked how it turned out. Pinwheels are very cute and very trendy right now... and so I incorporated it into a hair bow. In a house full of girls hair bows are always needed! Here are the instructions and directions to make your own.

Supplies:

$1 flag

Paper cutter or rotary cutter

pencil 

hot glue gun

scissors

double prong alligator clip

Directions:

Step 1: Cut off the flag from the wooden pole. 

Step 2: Trim the cut flag... to give it an even straight line. But...don't cut off any stars. 

Step 3: Cut your flag into a 4x4 square. 

Step 4: Fold your square corner to corner and unfold. It should give you a big X when you have folded the two corners. 

Step 5: Mark with a pencil a little line about 1/3 of the way from the center. 

Step 6: Cut with scissors along fold line up until the pencil mark.

Step 7: Hot glue every other corner down in the center. 

Step 8: Hot glue an embellishment over the center of the folded/glued pieces. I used a glitter foam sticker. Hot glue a double prong alligator clip to the back of the Flag Pinwheel.
