Fantastic Friday!

So I GROSSLY overestimated my ability to do a craft a day. Or even pretend to do one and blog about it. But, I am not one to give up easily, so I will keep trying--just need to figure out how to work it into our busy schedule.

I am going to cheat a little. We went to the Columbus Arts Festival this weekend and they had so many cool things! So here is an idea for a Family Friday Night craft!

Family Flags!
There are 2 different ways to do this crafts. Each person can create their own flag, or you can work together to crate a family flag! How fun would it be to crate a family flag and display it on your door!

Supplies:
If doing individual flags, each person gets a piece of paper. If doing a family flag, a bigger piece of paper might work better.
Dowel rods--one for each person, or one big one if doing a family craft.
Markers
Spray bottle

1. Using markers, design a flag and color it.
2. Lightly spray the paper with the water--in the mist setting. It will make the marker run and create a lovely effect.
3. Attach the flag to the dowel using tape.
4. Display your flag!

And for even more fun, crate a name for your family nation. And a constitution!
