For the love I have for my country, I decided to make a beautiful craft that represents my country flag.

Since my country flag is green white and green, I got some pieces of my materials and I make a little craft work.

created by me

• White and green clothes
• Scissors
• Multipurpose glue
• Broom stick

Why I decided to make use of glue is because I didn't have any other means.
So I cut the material then the white clothes was at the middle of the green.

When I was done with the setting, I use my glue to join them together.
After joining them together, my country flag was set and I apply glue to the broom stick and then glue it to my country flag to form the handle.

At this point my country flag was done and it comes out very beautiful.
