• Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Dispenser or Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Double-Sided Sheets
• Fabric/Canvas
• Flowers- Maya Road, Inspired By Stamping, We R Memory Keepers
• Ribbons- Recollections, The Ribbon Boutique

Here's what you do:

Cut a 12" x 7 1/3” piece of canvas fabric.

Fold on the center and cut a triangle on one side to create the flag end.

Add a simple straight stitch on the edge of the fabric. This will ensure that the fabric won’t fray from use later on.

With the four varying hues of pink and the stencil, create an ombre design on the canvas. Set aside to dry.

Adhere the flowers and ribbons on the dried canvas using Glue Dots Advanced Strength dispenser.

Trim the excess ribbons from the edge of the flag.

Use Glue Dots Advanced Strength dispenser to adhere the back side of the top edge of the flag. Fold the canvas over and around the dowel and press firmly against the adhesive to ensure a strong, secure bond.

Add some more ribbon to the dowel so you can hang your flag.
