Before you start painting, stack the canvas squares together then roll them up so they curl in the opposite direction to help flatten the canvas.
How to Make



-
- Cut out some canvas squares 20cm x 20cm. You should be able to cut 2 pieces from the width of a canvas roll. Use a large brush to paint the canvas squares in different colours for backgrounds. Brush the paint in both directions to cover the textured surface. Leave to dry. If the flags are going to be seen from both sides, paint the reverse then leave to dry.
- Paint a couple of extra canvas squares with different coloured stripes to make cut out patterns and borders for the flags. Leave to dry.
- Fold over the top 2cm on each canvas square to make rectangular backgrounds for the flags.
- Cut a long piece of string to hang the flags. Turn the flags over, squeeze glue under the folded edges then stick them along the string. Press firmly over the fold so the canvas edges stick down.
