Santa Garden Flag – Craft Tutorial

You can make your own Santa garden flag in minutes.  I have been infatuated with making my own garden flags for every season.  This is my Christmas version and I love how it turned out.  Plus it is super easy to make.  This time I am using a special fabric that makes this project quick and easy!

Supplies needed to make your own Santa garden flag:

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

The OlyFun makes this a super easy project.  It is a material that is great for outdoors and will not fray when you cut it.  So we can cut out the components for this flag and not worry about the raw edges.  I love that!  Watch the video below for a short demonstration on how to make this Santa garden flag.

If you can’t watch the video or miss any of the steps, here is a brief tutorial:

1. Cut a 3 inch strips of black OlyFun.
2. Cut a 5 inch square of gold OlyFun.
3. Cut a 3 inch square from center of gold OlyFun.
4. 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”.
5. Sew a pocket in the top for hanging.  Mine is 2 inches.
6. Sew the black OlyFun into place on the red flag.
7. Sew the gold buckle onto place on the flag.
8. Hang your flag outdoors to enjoy this Christmas.
