Step 1

Print the template onto A4 Card and trim around it using a pair of scissors.

Step 2

Tear small pieces of Tissue Paper and roll them tightly into pea-sized balls. Make a stash of red, white and blue paper balls!

Tip for Grown Ups: This step can take a while, so it might be one for you to help with!

Step 3

Apply the glue to the template and stick the rolled tissue paper balls, making sure to stay within the lines as best as you can.

Step 4

If there are any visible spaces between the tissue paper balls once stuck, roll up smaller pieces of tissue paper to fill the gaps.

Leave to dry.
