• Scissors
• Pieces of red, white, and blue felt
• Red, white, and blue ribbons (available at local craft stores)

Instructions
- Cut a pair of 6-inch stars from red, white, or blue felt.
- Cut a slightly smaller pair (ours were 4 inches across) from a different color of felt, and an even smaller pair (ours were 3 inches across) from the third color.
- Use tacky glue to affix the stars to each other. Glue together the 2 sets of stars, sandwiching a 3/8-inch dowel between them.
