Flags are equally suitable for both birthday celebrations and corporate parties.

So, the advantages of such garlands include the following:

1. Cheapness. Paper is inexpensive, and a large ream of paper can make great amount flags. Balls are much more expensive.
2. Versatility. Flags are equally suitable for both birthday celebrations and corporate parties. If you take such crafts as, for example, balls of thread, then they are far from suitable for all corporate parties and will be out of place at the birthday party of an elderly person.
3. Can be used for large events. If you know how to make a garland and flags with your own hands, you can easily arrange very large events, for example, a wedding for several hundred people. Well-made garlands can decorate a store with a large retail area. If you need help, then maybe the help of friends, because the amount of work is large.
4. Manufacturing speed. If you have ready-made flags, you can make a garland of them in just a few minutes. Even if there are no ready-made flags, they can always be printed. The same balloons, if you made a mistake with their number, are almost impossible to get and inflate if there is an hour left before the start of the event.
5. Possibility of quick replacement. You can replace paper flags at any moment, the same applies to the entire garland. This allows you to always maintain the appearance of the room in good condition.

There are other materials used for the manufacture of these products, for example, plastic or cardboard, but those listed are the main ones.

Types of garlands from flags

If you decide to make a garland of flags with your own hands, you should know that garlands are made in different ways. Depending on what kind of garland you need and where you will use it, you can choose one or another way to make it. Currently, there are the following types of these products:

• attached;
• with holes;
• on eyelets.

Sew-on garlands - in the manufacture of their flags are sewn to the braid

Sew-on garlands - in the manufacture of their flags are sewn to the braid. You can sew them close to each other - in this case, you practically do not see the base, and you get the impression of a continuous line of flags. These flags look great both indoors and out. Moreover, if you use sewing machine, then with the help of a braid you can quickly make several tens of meters of such garlands.

The second version of the described festive decoration is a garland of flags with holes. In this case, all flags made of different materials, have one or two holes through which the base is threaded: fishing line, cord or wire. By the way, the holes in the flags (if the flags are made of paper or cardboard) are easy and simple to make with a hole punch. In this way, you can quickly make your own birthday decorations - a garland and flags.

Garland of flags with holes

Important! As for the garlands on the grommets, this is perhaps the most reliable option in terms of durability (if the flags are also made of durable material).

If necessary, you can make any original garlands

Holes in the flags are strengthened with eyelets - these are special bushings, they can be plastic or metal. Thanks to the eyelets, the holes will not tear or fray, and even the base is threaded through them, on which your garland will be hung. There is hardly any need for such garlands for a one-time home holiday, it is rather a sort of "business option".

If necessary, you can make any original garlands, however, they will all be based on these three options execution. This should be taken into account when choosing a decor option for decorating buildings and premises. The rest of the flags can have a wide variety of shapes and sizes, although the most common is A5.

Flag templates are easy to design on your own if you have imagination

What you need to make a simple garland

In order to independently make a garland to decorate the room, you must first have flags on hand - you can buy them ready-made or make them from improvised materials. If you decide to make a garland with your own hands, then you can make flag templates for it using printing. Flag templates are easy to develop on your own if you have imagination. After developing such templates, it remains to print them using a printer on paper and make stencils, and even using stencils, it will be easy to prepare the required number of flags.

They can be cut with scissors or cut down with a special machine. To decorate an ordinary home holiday, for example, a birthday, those flags that you cut out with your own with my own hands, while it is not at all necessary to use the classic triangular shape. If you are using a heart shaped stencil or any geometric figure, your garland will only become more original from this.

When you start preparing for a holiday, whether it's New Year or a birthday, you always want to decorate your house in a special way every time. And what can better decoration handmade!?

For example, flags made of fabric! They will last for several years, and if the garland is just bright (without a specific theme), then you can decorate any holiday throughout the year! And also, use it as a daily interior design for a nursery - and the holiday will never leave the house!

We start by cutting out our flags. Through a little experimentation, and after Google "monitoring", I deduced the most, in my opinion, the most harmonious "formula" of the flag. An isosceles triangle with sides of 18 cm and a base of 12 cm. I already made the pattern with seam allowances.

We glue the fabric with interlining. We make a pattern on cardboard (for reliability) and cut out the flags, it turns out very economically. On a piece of fabric measuring 17 by 50 cm, I got 3.5 flags.

Cutting out all our wealth)

Sew with a seam allowance of 0.5 cm on both sides.

We cut the corner

Turn inside out, using a sushi stick, straighten the corner.

And iron all the checkboxes.

We cut off the corners.

We prepare a slanting inlay: cut off the desired size, and process the ends with fire.

We leave the free end of the inlay, I left 50 cm each, maybe more, we pin the first flag.

We sew the left string (50 cm) and the flag itself. At the beginning and at the end of each flag, I made a small bartack for 2-3 stitches (for reliability).

When flashing the flag, we make a stop at the very end in order to determine the position of the next flag (I did it by eye, about 3.5 cm, but you can increase the distance to 5 cm - it turns out well too). We sew a piece of oblique inlay without a flag, and move on to the next one (I don’t use pins any more), do not forget to make a bartack at the beginning and at the end of each flag.

Next, we sew the entire garland in the same way, at the end we leave a tie of 50 cm.
For my flag garland, I used a 3 meter bias tape and 14 flags, sewing them at a distance of 3.5 cm. The garland turned out to be about 2 meters and two 50 cm strings.

Flags are used for completely different purposes and purposes. With their help, you can draw attention to the object of movement or simply decorate the room for the upcoming celebration and holiday. You can buy a wide variety of flags and flagpoles in stores. However, it is much more interesting and more economical on the part of finance to make flags quickly and easily with your own hands.

• fabric of any color;
• sewing threads to match the main fabric;
• a wooden stick as the base of the flag;
• ruler;
• sharp scissors.

Now you need to make the correct measurements of your future flag from the fabric of the fabric.

Measure the flag size you need on the fabric. In our example, this is thirty-two by thirty-seven centimeters when finished. This means that you need to add one centimeter in width (thirty-two centimeters plus two centimeters), for folding the edge and three centimeters in length (thirty-seven centimeters plus one centimeter and another plus two centimeters for folding on a wooden stick).

Finish the edges with a hem seam with a closed cut, the seam width is 0.5 cm. In width, bend one side by two centimeters (we had an edge on this edge, so we did not bend it), lay a line at a distance of 0.1 - 0.2 centimeters from the edge.

Then iron the seams from the wrong side. That's all, the last touch is left - pass the wand and your flag is finished!

Dear Colleagues!

Nowadays it is difficult to surprise someone with ordinary flags. But it turned out that these flags, which would be suitable for our children for organizing physical education classes, games and holidays are not sold anywhere. Therefore, we decided to make do-it-yourself flags. I reviewed various MKs on the Internet, but did not find anything suitable! But in our kindergarten middle group educators Lyudmila Nikolaevna and Natalya Valerievna have just such flags as we need! Therefore, I consulted with my colleagues, agreed with my parents for help, and that's what we got!

For such flags you will need oxford cloth

Tailor's sharp scissors, furniture stapler with paper clips and

Also, wooden sticks. The cross-sectional diameter of such a shaft is 1 cm, we bought the wooden part in the LEROY MERLIN store.

We first wanted to sushi chopsticks. But sushi sticks are thin. In this photo, for comparison, I showed you our flag and chopsticks for sushi. First, let's cut the fabric according to this pattern.

For this we need scissors. At first I tried to cut the fabric with a soldering iron, but it is long and tiring. My colleagues fabric for their flags cut with ordinary scissors and flags After several years of use, they have not worn out at all.

We also decided to cut the fabric with scissors. Then, in accordance with this drawing, we fix the fabric on sticks with a furniture stapler.

For each checkbox spent three paperclips.

See how they look flags in the hands of a child. I think this is the size for checkboxes the most optimal.

This amount flags should be enough for all our children! Ulyana's dad helped us in making flags! Thank him very much!

And you thanks to all for your attention!

Flashlight flags

To make such interesting and bright flags, you need to fold a sheet of colored paper of the right size with an accordion, fold it in half, and glue the adjoining edges with glue. We will get a kind of semicircle. Make two such semicircles and glue them together.

Glue a paper circle in the center to the resulting paper accordion circle. It can later be supplemented with letters or additional decor.

Then we glue the resulting voluminous accordion lantern onto the prepared canvas of the flag of the required shape and color. It looks like the photo above.
