The craft. How to make a Union Flag (click on the pictures and print):
1.- You have to cut out and put first the Scottish flag (St Andrew’s Cross)
2.- Cut out the diagonals of the Irish flag (St Patrick’s Cross, slightly modified) and glue on the Scottish flag.
3.- Cut the red cross, the English flag (St George’s Cross) and glue on the Irish flag.
The historic progress was different:
England + Scotland = Original Union Flag (1606) + Ireland = Current Union Flag (1801) when Ireland became part of the United Kingdom.The classic Red Dragon from Wales (Welsh dragon) is not represented in the Union Flag because Wales has only been in England since XIII.
