Tips In Making Decorative Holiday Flags

By Jody Leach


Creating things on your own should not be a problem. That is especially true if you are adept at using your hands. Out of the many things that will become easy for you to make is the decorative holiday flags. It should not be a difficult task for you to make one, even a dozen, of the said artwork for the upcoming national event.

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 pick this option for your flag, then the design will basically be made out of art papers. Art papers are technically colored on one side and plain on the other side. You can use the colored side of the art paper to create whatever design it is that you have to follow. They may be lines, stars, strips, or anything else.

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 opt for this, then you have the option of using colored pen for marking the design. Of course, the colored pen should be specifically made to write on fabric. There should be a lot of such colored pens out there. The colored pen specifically designed for use on fabric is much smoother than any other option.

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.
