 you will need:
  • 8″ x 10″ squares for each flag
  • 1/2 yard of inexpensive muslin for the back of the flags (if you cut carefully you will have left over fabric.)
  • 1/4 yard of fabric for binding (or 2″ wide x 88″ piece of ribbon folded if you wish)
  • freezer paper
  • ruler and rotary cutter or scissors

Here’s how:
To make the template for the flags:

  1. On the freezer paper draw an 8″ line, making a mark at the 4″ (half-way point).
  2. Measuring at a 90 degree angle from the 4″ mark, measure 9 1/2″. (It will look like a “T”)
  3. Connect the points of the triangle.
  4. Cut out the template. (I used my rotary cutter.)
