Teach your history class about specific flags that represent the countries in the world, including the American flag. Purchase small, polyester flags and place them in decorative frames before hanging them up in your classroom. The following steps will teach you a couple, creative ways to do this. Your classroom will be originally decorated after you finish hanging them.
Use The Following Materials
Use Patriotic Paint
Add Metallic Paint
Place the wooden frames on a table that has been covered with newspaper. Apply metallic spray paint to the surface of each frame, using a color that is part of each country's flag. Apply the paint as evenly as you can. The paint may take a couple hours to dry. Add a an additional coat of paint if some parts of the wood are showing through the first coat.
Apply Embellishments And Sealer
Apply self-adhesive rhinestones and gems to the surface of each frame, using more colors that are present on each country's flag. Peel the embellishments that you would like to use off of the paper backing. Place them in various parts of the frames and press them down to secure them. Spray a coat of acrylic craft spray over each frame's surface. The spray will prevent the paint from fading or peeling. Allow several minutes for the craft spray to dry before handling the frames.
Decorate With Colorful Yarn
Use The Following Materials
Apply Pieces Of Yarn
Cover a table with newspaper so that glue does not get on the surface. Cut pieces of yarn that are different colors and thicknesses. Choose colors that are present on each country's flag. Pour some glue into a bowl. Apply glue to the back of the pieces of yarn that you select. Attach them to the wooden frames by pressing them onto the surface. Place the pieces of yarn next to each other so that there aren't any spaces between them. Wait for the glue to dry before picking up any of the frames.
Frame The Flags
Use The Following Materials
Place The Flags Inside Of The Frames
Place the flags inside of the corresponding frames, making sure that each one is straight and wrinkle free. Attach picture hooks to the walls with a screwdriver. If you would like all of the flags to be displayed at the same height, use a measuring tape to assist. Hang up the finished frames on the walls of your classroom. The framed flags will be be pleasant to look at and will help your students learn about each country's flag. To purchase flags of your own, contact a local outlet, such as Waterloo Flag & Flagpole Company.

For a brief time, I found myself between houses. This came about when I sold my old one but the home I was having built was not quite ready. Since the buyers wanted in, I had to place most of my belongings in a self-storage facility. Fortunately, I found one that had everything that I needed. The facility had around the clock security and units that were the right size for my needs. There was even air conditioning to keep my stored items safe from the heat. If you need storage space for a short time, there are specific features you want. Stick with me and you will know what questions to ask before you make any type of commitment to a storage company.
