DIY Jazz Fest Flag

Jazz Fest is this weekend and many will be meeting up with friends or family. A DIY flag is the perfect way for them to spot you in a crowd. Follow instructions below to make your own Jazz Fest flag.

What you will need:

  • Flag material (I bought mine at Hancock fabrics for $8)
  • Sewing machine
  • Scissors 
  • Scrap paper 
  • Pins

Cut out material into a rectangle, leaving a 1/2 inch on all sides to hem. I used a 3/8 of a yard. Hem the sides of the flag, I used purple thread so that the hemming will not be noticeable. 

Fold a large piece of scrap paper in half, sketch out a fleur de lis and cut out. Trace the fleur de lis onto a second color of fabric. I used a 1/2 yard of yellow flag material for this. 

Cut out your fabric fleur de lis and pin it to the hemmed rectangle. 

Sew around the design to keep it in place. 

Enjoy!!
