Glue the flag piece furthest to the right to the right hand side of a piece of paper. Leave a couple of inches of space from the top. Overlap the next piece over the first piece. Make sure to place it just a little bit higher and to the left as shown. Continue to place and overlap the other two flag pieces in this same manner.

Glue a wooden skewer to the paper to the left of the flag for the flag pole to finish it off. You can paint a sky or fireworks around your flag too. Have a happy and safe 4th everyone.
