How To Create 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 without the talent of a genius, making of this item is a walk in the park. There is no need to worry about complicated stuff when making this artwork. After all, you just need basic shapes and figures to be able to create the said artwork. The tools for the creation of the said item are easy to obtain too.

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.

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 more ideal option for the making of this flag would be the fabric though. It will allow you to make a flag that is quite similar to the real one. In fact, you can create a miniature flag of the real one out of the fabric. The fabric allows a smooth wave every time wind passes by, making it an amazing sight to see.

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 for when you use a fabric is using dye. You will need some advanced techniques to be able to dye up the right parts of the fabric to form the design that you wish to utilize. The dye is more permanent and color fast so it will look pretty when you do it properly.

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.
