Patriotic Paper Streamer Craft
We can’t get enough of this easy Patriotic Paper Streamer Craft. Made with a simple loop of cardstock and a few strands of crepe paper, it’s a perfect Memorial Day or 4th of July craft, and so lovely to watch blowing in the breeze.
Of course, given that they are made of cardstock, I wouldn’t leave them outside. But they are a great decoration. These patriotic streamers are also a fun way for kids to help celebrate America and all the amazing Veterans who fought and are still fighting for us.
Memorial Day Streamers Craft
To make our patriotic streamers you will need cardstock in patriotic colors, crepe paper streamers in the same, a white paint pen, a stapler, scissors, and a glue stick.
Then to hang your streamers you will need a hole punch and baker’s twine.
Patriotic Streamer Craft Supplies Needed
- Cardstock – red, blue
- Crepe paper streamers – red, blue
- White paint pen
- Stapler
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Hole punch
- Baker’s twine or ribbon
July 4th Streamer Craft Step by Step Directions
Start by choosing a red or blue color of patriotic cardstock.
Cut the cardstock in half.
Now, use the white paint pen to draw a design on the cardstock. Stars are an obvious good choice.
Next, flip the cardstock over so that the plain side is facing up. Cut your streamers. We found 5 streamers were just enough to fit across the cardstock. Glue the streamers in place at the bottom of the cardstock.
Once all the streamers are glued, bring the cardstock together in a loop.
Staple to secure in place. Be careful not to staple the streamers, too.
Finally, to hang your streamers, punch two holes at the top of the cardstock, on opposite sides.
Cut a long strand of baker’s twine. Tie a loop at the top. Then, tie each of the ends through the holes of the streamer. Try to get it as even as possible.
Your streamers are now ready to hang!
Now, they’re kinda like potato chips. You can’t make just one. They’re that easy, and so nice to watch blowing gently in the breeze!
