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.

If you are on a tight budget, then you might want to opt for the use of the cardboard and bond paper. This is where you will be putting in your design, after all. The cardboard and bond paper is the cheap option you can take.

When you opt for the cardboard and bond paper, then you will be needing art papers. The art papers are colored papers you can use to create the design. You will be cutting out lines, strips, stars, or any other figures that you will use for the said design. Paste the cut outs into the cardboard and bond paper.

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.
