To make the flag toppers, print out the Canada Printables HERE or the July 4th Printables HERE.  Cut out, fold, and notch out the end.  Cut paper straws in half and glue on the flags.

I also punched out some patterned parchment paper with a scalloped punch to use as a liner.  You could always use scrapbook paper too..
