DIY Fabric Flags
Materials and Process
Materials:
- Wooden dowels (12 inches long, 3/8” diameter)
- Blue and red fabrics (amount depends on strip length
- Washing machine/dryer
I cut strips about 1½ inches wide and 18 inches long. After cutting some strips with a rotary cutter for a neater finish, I washed and dried them for a frayed edge. Folding the strips in half, I fed them through the fold to secure them around the dowel.
I used three blue fabrics and four red fabrics, each with different patterns. This was an excellent way to use leftover remnants.
Note: Washing the strips gave them a frayed look but also meant ironing and trimming strings—something I might skip next time for convenience.
These projects brought a patriotic flair to my store, creating a welcoming and respectful atmosphere for Memorial Day while being practical enough to reuse for upcoming summer holidays.
