STEP 4:
Choose three or four subjects of interest and draw a picture of that subject in each section (such as a flag for your nationality/nationalities, your family pet, your favorite activity or food). For the banner, use your last name, your first name or a family motto. Fill up the background space with bright colors and have fun! Trace all lines of the family coat of arms when you’re done.
