Make your own flags
Cut triangles from fabric offcuts or buy the smallest amount (usually 0,5 m) in two or three colours. Sew a hem of at least 2,5 cm at the top for stringing them together and thread string or rope through. Or avoid sewing with Sew Simple glue. Decorate the triangles with ribbon, buttons or other trim of your choice.
