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 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 certainly a number of tools available for people to use nowadays. You just have to figure out which tools you can afford and which ones you are comfortable using. You better prepare these tools beforehand to have an easier time with the project. Here are just some of the tools you should prepare beforehand.

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.

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 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.

The pole is another important part of the flag. Thus, you have to purchase the pole that fits well with the flag you make. If it is a small one, then the pole should be in proportion to that. The pole will be used to hoist the flag up at the right time. It makes the flag look really amazing.
