Tips In Making Decorative Holiday Flags

By Jody Leach


It is actually not a problem for people to create things on their own. This is particularly true to those people who have tinkering hands. When it comes to the things that they can do, they will particularly find it a piece of cake to create decorative holiday flags. Even if they are asked to make a dozen, it should be okay.

Even if one is not talented genius, a person can easily make this item. After all, the making of the said item is not that complicated. You will need basic shapes as well as figures to be able to create this item from the tools available for you. Of course, you just need the right tools to be able to make the one that you want to make.

You can surely take advantage of various materials for the making of the said product. It is your responsibility to figure out which materials are the most useful for you when you are making this product. Then, you have to prepare the materials beforehand. Here are some materials that you might find useful in this project.

When you have a tight budget to follow, then consider using cardboard or bond paper for the making of the flag. The plain surface of the cardboard or bond paper is where you will put your design. The good thing about the said option is that they are cheap.

For this option, you have to create the design from art paper. The art paper is a type of paper where one side is colored and the other side is plain. You just need to use the colored side to make the design for the flag you need to make. You can cut out lines, strips, stars, and other designs out of the art paper to put into the bond paper or cardboard.

If you want an ideal one to use, then you better use the fabric instead. It will allow you to wave the flag just like how it will be like when it is put in a pole. The fabric allows for a smooth wave so it should be the best to use for your item. You can put together some fabric or you can use a white one and dye them up.

When you pick this option, you can use colored pen for making out the design. The colored pen that you choose for this must be specifically created to write on any fabric surface. You can certainly find the said colored pen easily in school supplies stores. They are designed to write smoothly on a fabric surface.

Another option you have when you choose to use the fabric is dye. You need to use the dye to have color on the fabric you use. The dye is color fast so it should not be easy to fade out the fabric's design. Even when it rains on the day of the event, the flag will not look ugly.

Get a pole. The pole should match the flag that you have created. If the flag is a bit small, then you have to find a pole that suits well with that. The proportion should be appropriate. When you have a pole, you can hoist your flag up.
