Betsy Ross and the 5-Pointed Star

7/4/2019

When George Washington commissioned Betsy Ross to create the first American flag in the spring of 1776, his design featured a six-pointed star. He thought cutting equal sides in a six-pointed star would be easier than a five pointed star. 

However, Betsy knew better. She astounded him with her demonstration of how easy it was to cut equal-sided five-point stars from fabric with just a few folds and a scissor snip. ​

Here's a tutorial to cut your own 5-pointed star, just like Betsy!

The directions call for practice on an 8x10 sheet of paper, but you can make any size star, following those dimensions, larger or smaller.

Follow these step-by-step directions from Pageant Wagon Publishing and plan a star-spangled celebration for Independence Day, other patriotic holidays, Christmas celebrations, or planetarium studies.

    I'm a writer, speaker, and dramatist who loves treasure hunts in thrift stores, antique shops, vintage books, and God's Word ~ not necessarily in that order!

    I inspire Christians to develop a Family Literacy Lifestyle that produces readers, writers, and thinkers who can engage their multi-generational sphere of influence from a biblical worldview.

    My blog focuses on inspired instruction in all good things and beauty for writers with compelling stories to tell and homeschool families with the next generation to raise in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

    Let's talk books, independent publishing, homeschool tools and techniques, the power of story, the importance of our American Christian history, and the glory of God to transform our lives through the LIFE of His Story.
