I have been wanting to make one of these for a very long time. I have 2 weeks off from work and decided now is a great time to make one. It was so easy and fun! There are so many tutorials out there and ideas of how to put them together. I used white double sided bias tape. Each flag measures 6 inches tall and 6 inches wide.
