Tips In Making Decorative Holiday Flags

By Jody Leach


People should not have a problem with making their own things. There are lots of things they can do with their own hands. Out of the various things they can possibly make, the decorative holiday flags is one of the easiest one to make. Even when they are commissioned to make dozens, that should still be possible for them.

Even when they are clumsy, it is possible to make quality ones. It does not take a genius to make the said product, after all. As long as you are familiar with basic shapes and how to make the said item, then there is nothing impossible for you to do. You will also need some tools to make the work easier too.

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.

For this option, what you need to use to create the design is a colored pen. You can actually find colored pens designed to write on fabric surfaces nowadays. They are commonly sold in school supplies store and art supplies stores. You can write on the fabric smoothly if you opt to use this colored pen.

The colored pen is not the only option you have for creating the design on a fabric. You can also take advantage of dye in this option. All you have to do is to use some dyeing technique to get the color to the right parts. The dye is very color fast so the final product should not fade easily.

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.
