Flags
Placemat:
Cut red paper 17" x 11" for the bottom layer. Cut
white paper 15" x 9" and glue to red paper, centering
it.
Arrange 4 Flag Cutouts in 2 rows, leaving enough space down
the center for the stars. Place 3 stars in a vertical row along
the left edge of the white paper, along the right edge and down
the center.
Have the placemats laminated at an office supply store or other
business that offers lamination.
Stars
Placemat:
Cut red paper 17" x 11" for the bottom layer. Cut
white paper 14" x 9" and glue to red paper, centering
it. Cut blue paper 11" x 7.5" and glue to the red
paper, centering it.
Arrange the stars in 5 vertical columns by first applying 3
stars along the left edge of the blue paper (one star in the
top and bottom corner and one in the middle). Do the same for
the right edge of the blue paper and then again down the center.
Apply 2 stars vertically between the first and second column
and again between the second and third column, making sure that
they are staggered between the other rows of stars.
Have the placemats laminated at an office supply store or other
