How To Make A Santa Garden Flag For Christmas

The Christmas season is ripe with inspiration for amazing craft projects! Whether you enjoy making your own DIY ornaments, holiday decor, or prefer to stick to cute Christmas crafts, there are plenty of ideas so that everyone can have fun making something.

I particularly love decorating our house for Christmas, and every year, I add at least one new DIY addition to our collection!

We have tons of cute interior decorations, including my DIY wooden Christmas tree and Christmas gnome.

And I've made some fun Christmas porch decor that we enjoy pulling out to display. However, I find that simply decorating the front porch isn't quite enough – the yard looks too bare.

Lately, I've been infatuated with making DIY garden flags for every season. So, naturally, I came up with a Christmas design! I love this simple Santa garden flag, and I know you will too.

Supplies Needed To Make A Santa Garden Flag

• OlyFun in red, black, and gold
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Marker
• Sewing machine

Step 1: Cut Out The Belt

Cut a 3-inch strip of black OlyFun.

Step 2: Cut Out The Belt Buckle

Cut a 5-inch square of gold OlyFun.

Then, cut out a 3-inch square from the center of the gold OlyFun to create the buckle outline.

Step 3: Cut Out The Flag

Cut a flag shape from the red OlyFun. It should be as wide as your black strip and long enough to make a pocket to hang.

I also cut the bottom in a “V” to give it that classic shape.

Step 4: Create The Pocket

At the top of your garden flag, fold the red OlyFun down 2 inches and sew it into place to create the pocket.

Step 5: Add The Belt

Sew the black OlyFun into place on the red Santa garden flag.

Step 6: Add The Gold Buckle

Sew the gold buckle into place on the flag.

Hang your flag outdoors to enjoy this Christmas.

FAQs About Santa Garden Flag

Do you have questions about making this Santa garden flag? I have answers for you! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below.

Can I Adjust The Size Of This Garden Flag?

Absolutely! As long as you have enough OlyFun, you can make this flag any size that you prefer!

Can I Glue This Santa Garden Flag Together Instead Of Sewing It?

Yes, you can! You could use your hot glue gun (which dries faster) or super glue to bring this project together if you don't want to sew it. That said, this Santa garden flag is the perfect project for beginner sewers if you need an excuse for a little practice!

Could I Add Loops At The Top Instead Of Sewing One Long Pocket To Hang This Flag?

Yes, that's an option. However, in my experience, that will take more work and make it harder than one long pocket to actually hang your flag.

Can I Change The Colors Of This Garden Flag?

Of course! For my garden flag, I chose to go with a traditional Santa outfit. However, depending on your Christmas decor style (peppermint, woodland, bright, pastel, etc.), you can change up the color to match your theme!
