Are you looking to add a little patriotic flair to your upcoming Memorial Day celebration? This flag centerpiece may be exactly what you need:

 
Supplies:

Craft Glue Dots©
glass jar
3 bamboo skewers
15" wire (red)
9 star buttons (red, white, blue)
large paper scraps (red, white, blue)
jar filler (buttons, candy, ribbon, etc.)

1. Cut each color of paper to 7x2". Fold in half and make a triangle cut at the end of each flag.

2. Attach the flags to the bamboo skewers with Craft Glue Dots©.

3. Place the flags into a glass jar.

4. Fill the jar with red ribbon-tied bells as shown or use buttons, candy, etc. as filler.
