Quick and easy food flags for your red, white, and blue festivities!
Food Flags
- Patriotic ribbon of your choice
- 5-6″ wooden skewers
- Hot glue gun
- Glue sticks
Cut ribbon into four inch strips. Fold each piece in half and lightly crease with your finger tip to mark the center.
Unfold ribbon and lay right side down on work surface. Using a hot glue gun, place a bead of glue in the center.
Working quickly, gently press the blunt tip of a wooden skewer into hot glue, then carefully wrap ribbon around stick until edges align.
If necessary, use a small dot of glue in between ribbon layers to hold them together.
Simply neaten ribbon ends with a sharp pair of scissors and you’re finished.
I told you they were quick and easy!
These longer food picks are ideal for topping layered desserts, mile high sandwiches, and colossal burgers…
However, toothpicks can certainly be substituted for flags used to decorate cupcakes and bite-sized foods.
Hollie, they’re absolutely wonderful!
Whatever dessert is in that picture looks delicious! Great flag idea.
So cute and easy that’s my kind of cooking. Thanks for linking to the Bacon Time party again. You rock for adding me to your great link party list. Have a wonderful weekend. Your photos are great!
PERFECT! And so easy to make!

That’s a really cute idea! I just made some cupcake toppers for the 4th of July, and I think I might make some jello to stick them in, instead. You inspired me. Thanks so much!
So cute and simple! Lovely idea!
Great little flags!
Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit!
