Assembly
Glue or sew the star to the blue square
Stiffen the flag
Using the white lock stitch chain: near the first ring pull the lock st
itch chain up through the 12th p on the day 1 motif. Then near the 2nd ring pull the lock stitch chain up through the 10th p on the day 1 motif. Then bring the stick up through the loops to make a flag! You make need to use a few drops of glue to hold it in place. There were left over staples in mine so that held the loops in place.
