Patriotic Snack Cups

These easy-to-create snack cups are perfect for adding a little patriotic flair to your table.

Stars & Strips Banners

You can make these banners in an instant with JAM Kraft paper and some paint. Simply cut out equally-sized squares of Kraft paper and draw a red, white, or blue star on each piece. Glue or tape the finished squares onto one long piece of twine and enjoy!

Footprint Flag

This is a great activity to do with your family. First, find an old picture frame and cover it with plain white paper. Then, paint your hands blue to make the stars and your feet red for the stripes. Use the finished frame as a nice backdrop for your food bar.

Flag Lunch Bags

Take some of our Kraft lunch bags and decorate them with red, white, and blue tape. Fill up with snacks like pretzels, chips, and candy. Perfect for pre-cheeseburger snacking!

Tin Can Flags

All you need for this craft are old tin cans, tea lights, and paint. Take the cans and paint red, white, and blue stripes on them. Next, use either a drill or a hammer and nails to make unique designs. Once it starts to get dark outside, you can add the tea lights and light them for pretty yet (virtually) effortlessly festive outdoor lamps.
