In this short instructional video, the presenter demonstrates a quick, low‑prep Fourth of July craft suitable for students. The tutorial outlines the required supplies—glue, scissors, and red, white, and blue construction paper—and walks through each step: cutting 1‑inch white strips, gluing them onto a red sheet in an alternating red‑white pattern, tracing and cutting a handprint from blue paper, attaching the handprint to the striped background, folding the thumb to form a "4," and finally adding a "Happy Fourth of July" message with the date. The result is a simple, festive handprint decoration that can be completed in a short classroom period.

Here's some quick, low-prep, easy-to-do Fourth of July crafts. For this project, grab glue, scissors, and red, white, and blue paper. Take your white paper and cut it into about 1-inch strips. Once you're done cutting, grab your glue and put it on the back of the white strips. Next, get your red sheet of paper and glue the white strips to the red paper. You're going to make a pattern going red, white, red, white. When you're done, grab your blue paper and have your student put their hand on the blue paper. Trace their hand, or if students can, have them trace their own hand. When you're done tracing, have students cut out their hand. When you're done, it'll look like this. From here, grab glue and take your hand and put glue on all of the fingers and the palm of your hand cutout. Turn it over and put it down on your red and white paper. Now take the thumb and put a dot of glue on the very tip and fold it over to make a 4. Push it down and hold it until it sticks. And now write Happy Fourth of July, add the date, and you've got a simple, fun, easy project.
