Fort Flag

Fort Flag

Building a fort in the living room is loads of fun for kids. A fort flag is a fun way to stake out the territory and let everyone know who was responsible for the structure.

What You Need

• Large twig from your yard
• 8” x 10” piece of stiff felt
• Felt alphabet stickers
• Hole punch
• Jute or other twine

How To Make It

1. First, place the alphabet letters (do not remove sticky backs yet) ontothe stiff felt. Be sure to leave a little room on the left for the hole punch. Once you have them where you want them, remove the sticker backs and attach the letters to the stiff felt.
2. Use a hole punch to add holes about an inch from the left side of the stiff felt.
3. Cut jute string into 6” lengths and insert into the holes.
4. Tie the jute strings around the twig to attach the flag to the flagpole.

Helpful Hints

• An alternative to the felt sticker letters could be puffy paint or glitter glue, however this will increase the craft time frame considerably due to drying time.
• Stiff felt can be found at your local craft supply store.
