1. Draw the outline of your flag, making for
convenience, the width equal an even 10 units
(such as eighths or quarters or half, etc.) so
that the length can be made 19 units.
2. Get the 13 stripes outlined as follows: a) Take
your ruler and find a place marking 13 units, such
as 3-1/4 inches, or 6-1/2 or even 9-3/4 inches. b)
Then draw the 2 lines A B and A' B'; marking off
the 13 points on each. It does not matter where
the lines are drawn so long as they extend between
the top and bottom of the rectangle. c) Through
these points draw lightly, the lines for the
stripes, covering the _whole_ flag.
3. Before making the final lines, block in the
union in the upper left hand corner, making its
length equal to 7.6 of the original units used for
the whole flag. The width of the union is _seven_
stripes.
4. Place the stars as follows: The lines marking
the stripes may be used to mark the 6 lines of
stars. The eight stars to a line may be determined
by dividing the length of the union into nine
parts and dropping eight perpendiculars through
the six lines already there. In the sketch the
line, D F and D' F' are guide lines to make the
new parallel lines. These are made just as in the
case of A B and A' B' only containing nine units
and extending between the two sides of the union.
5. The stars are made at the intersection of the
lines. It is not necessary to put in more than one
or two, to show the shape and direction of points.
6. The stripes may be colored, or if indicated by
cross hatching, make the cross hatches vertical (I
I I I I) which is the symbol for red.
