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!

I'm a writer, speaker, and book shepherd 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.

As a book shepherd and independent publisher I help Christian writers, speakers, and creatives to tell God's Story through their story.

My blog here focuses on inspired instruction in all good things and beauty for writers and creatives, with compelling stories told, instruction given on varied topics, and inspiration for families with the next generation to raise in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Let's talk books, independent publishing, 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--His Kingdom, established on earth as it is in Heaven.
