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.

There are lots of tools that you can use when you are making the said item. It is up to you which ones you are most comfortable using. Prepare the tools beforehand so that you will have an easier time making the said item. Here are those tools that you should be able to use when making the said item.

If you are on a very tight budget, try using the bond paper or cardboard then. These options have plain surfaces that you can use to put the design for the flag that you are planning to create. It should be suitable for you to buy this material because they are quite cheap.

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.

The ideal to use for the flag would be fabric. The fabric will wave beautiful when you put it up in a pole, just like how it would look like when it is a real flag. The smooth wave of the fabric will make the flag you create an amazing sight. You can either use a plain fabric for this or put together colored ones.

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.

Do not forget to buy a pole. If the flag you made is small in size, then just get a barbecue stick or something similar to hoist the flag up. Just remember that the pole you pick to hoist the flag you have made should be suitable for it. Otherwise, the item will just look really lame.
