Each blogger has been given a different group and we have all been sent the colour tapes that we will need to create the flags for each of the countries in our groups.
I was given group B containing : Spain, Netherlands, Chile and Australia. Now I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to football so I don't really know the best team to be supporting but this gave us a great opportunity to learn a bit more about different countries and their accompanying flags.
I decided to make something different for each team so that the girls and I could show our support each time they played.
Netherlands Flag
1. Get prepared with the materials you will need : scissors, sellotape, ruler, 4 straws and an A4 piece of paper.
2. Fold the piece of paper in half and in half again.
Cut along the folds, giving you four pieces of paper.
3. With your ruler measure one of the pieces of paper to find the centre.
Put the white duck tape through the middle of the paper.
4. Using your ruler again to measure out the lines equally, you then place the red duck tape at the top of the paper and the blue at the bottom. This forms the pattern of the Netherlands flag.
5. Turn your flag around. Place one straw on one side of the paper, left or right, it is up to you.
Then stick it down with sellotape. I stuck some sellotape vertically and some horizontally to make sure that the straw was secure.
6. Your flag is now finished. All that is left to do is start waving it around!!
