Fourth of July Crafts crafts

Supplies needed:

A smooth, flat pebble (make sure it's clean) Pencil Red, white, and blue tempera paint Brushes Acrylic varnish or other shiny finish (optional)

Choose a smooth, flat river rock. Mark off the area that will be the stars.

Use blue paint to color the area that will be the stars. Paint the rest of the rock's top white. Let the paint dry.

Paint red stripes in the white area (in the real US flag there are 13 red and white stripes, with red stripes on the top and bottom - these stripes symbolize the original 13 colonies).

Paint some white stars on the blue area (in the real US flag there are 50 white stars that represent the 50 US states). If you'd like a shiny finish, coat with an acrylic varnish after the paint has dried completely.
