This example colors only the flag. The numbered marks identify sample areas; apply the same rule to matching areas elsewhere. Leave the surroundings white for this exercise, or color them freely afterwards.
Flag-color example
- 1. Red — alternate stripes
- 2. Dark blue — field behind the stars
- 3. White — stars and remaining stripes
- Count all 13 stripes from the top. Color stripes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 red; the first long stripe below the star field stays white.
- Color the upper-left field dark blue, carefully working around the 50 stars.
- Leave all stars and the six alternate stripes white. Use the paper as the white areas.
Check for seven red and six white stripes, with red at both top and bottom. All 50 stars remain white against blue. The surrounding scene is optional.
Check the colors, then print
The United States flag has 50 white stars on blue and 13 alternating red and white stripes. The top and bottom stripes are red. Count the stars in nine rows alternating six and five.
For small stars or a clean circular edge, choose one picture per A4 or Letter sheet and check the print preview before printing. Use colored pencils for narrow spaces; avoid shrinking several flags onto one sheet if the details become hard to see.
