Tutorial: DIY Flag Party Favor
To celebrate my daughter's 1st Birthday, I'm really going out and making a huge deal about it. Which means, I'm going to throw her an awesome party and make sure that as much as I can create is all DIY. What does that mean to you? More tutorials! (Yeah!)
This tutorial goes over making Flag Party Favors to give your party, wedding, event, (etc.) gifts that bring a personalized touch to the festivities.
Since this tutorial is rather simple, I thought I'd go one step further and provide everyone with a PRINTABLE STENCIL of the exact stencil I used to make this.
Granted, I understand not everyone is able to print this out, so I've also provided the dimensions, so I really hope this helps.
Items Needed:
- Provided Stencil: Flag Stencil of customized design of your creation
- Chopstick (or popsicle, coffee-stirrer, pencil, basically any thing that is a slim tall object. I used a chopstick and a coffee stirrer for this demonstration)
- Mod Podge
- Paint Brush
- Scissors (or Exacto Knife)
Step One:
Print out (or cut out if you are doing your design by hand) your design.
The stencil was created on an 11 x 8.5" layout, so print your document out at full size.
Step Two:
Using your scissors (or Exacto Knife) cut out the design from the stencil.
(For precision, I recommend using an Exacto Knife, but that's just a preference.)
Step Three:
Place your design on it's front (the side the design is on) so that the white blank side of the paper is facing upward.
Step Four:
Take your paintbrush and spread your Mod Podge down the center of your design. Make sure not to use too much or else you risk destroying your printout.
Step Five:
Place your Chopstick (or chosen item) on top of the painted center and secure it to the glued paper.
Step Six:
Now that you have a center, use your paintbrush to coat one side (left or right, either is fine) of the flag with Mod Podge.
Step Seven:
Fold the two sides of the flag together and flatten around the Chopstick.
And you're done!
