How To Create 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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
