how to make worship flags
I have been making flags for worship for several years and I decided to write about how to make flags for worship.
The simplest way to make a flag for worship.
You will need:
Fabric (preferably light and airy) any length
Scissors
Wooden rod ¾” in diameter (I have found out is the best size)
Hot glue
Sewing machine with thread matching the color of your fabric
Sharpie or permanent marker (optional)
Cut the flag to the desired size and sew around the edges, making sure that you pass through the corners several times so they don’t unravel. Sew a “pocket” on one edge about 1 1/2” wide; fold one of the edges of you flag and sew it to make a pocket, by making sure that you close one of the top ends also.
Insert the rod in the pocket; glue the end with enough hot glue so the flag doesn't go anywhere. You are done!
I like to use the “pocket” method of attachment because in case the rod breaks is a lot easier to unglue a little portion of the fabric than the whole thing, plus some fabrics are so delicate and/or slippery that they could melt or slip as you glue them. Taking the extra time to sew a pocket will make your flags look more professional.
If you prefer, before you glue your flag to the rod using a nice sharpie write a promise scripture or the meaning of that fabric color.
To make a Hoopla follow the directions as above, but saw and extra pocket on the other end and add a rod.
After you are done with you flag pray over this instrument of worship and yourself that you will both be used for His Glory.
Enjoy
