Whether you’re decorating your room, classroom, or just want a fun activity for the kids, this DIY project is perfect for all ages!

Let’s walk through this simple, budget-friendly craft together.

Materials You’ll Need

• Green and white construction paper (or plain paper + crayons/markers)

• Glue stick or double-sided tape

• Scissors

• A straw, ice cream stick, or pencil (for the flagpole)

• A white star and crescent cutout (you can draw or print one)

• Optional: glitter, stickers, or ribbon for extra decoration

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cut Your Flag Shape

Cut a rectangle (around 6×4 inches) from the green paper. This will be the main body of your flag. If you’re using plain paper, color it green.

Step 2: Add the White Stripe

Cut a white strip about 1 inch wide and glue it along the left edge of the green rectangle. This represents the white bar on Pakistan’s flag.

Step 3: Make the Star and Crescent

Use white paper to draw or trace a crescent moon and five-pointed star. Cut them out carefully and stick them in the center-right area of the green section.

Step 4: Attach to a Flagpole

Glue or tape the flag onto your straw, stick, or pencil. Make sure it’s secure so you can wave it proudly!

Step 5: Decorate (Optional)

Add glitter, ribbon, or patriotic stickers to personalize your flag. Let your creativity shine!
