Welcome to Flags For Fun!

While creating flags is something I've been doing for years, I have to admit I took a break from it for about a decade. I got involved in quilting, making green handbags and creating jewelry and just didn't have the time for everything. Of course, I was also raising kids and working full time. I literally had to cut back on something.

My husband and I recently moved back to North Carolina after the last child moved out of the house and have discovered that we now have extra time on our hands. What a wonderful thing to have!

So, yes, I've rediscovered why I loved creating custom made flags - they are just so much fun to see hanging outside the house!

Please take a few moments to look at some of the fun flags that I've made in the past and feel free to write and ask if I'd be able to create a special custom made flag for YOU!

Remember, while I will make "similars", I do NOT make duplicates. I like the knowledge that when people buy my flags, they are confidant that they will never see their flag hanging outside anyone else's home.

Flags For Fun are a wonderful way to dress up the outside of your home! Enjoy!

"Similar" Flags But Not Duplicates

Flags For Fun Decorative Outdoor Flags

flags for fun - snowman

As I mentioned above, while I will not make duplicate decorative flags, I will make "similars".

I may use the same basic template or pattern that I've created, but I'll change colors or a supporting item on the flag to ensure that there is enough difference in the custom made flag.

Here is an example that I think portrays quite well what I mean when I say I can make "similar" flags. The colors of the mittens, hat trim, and scarf are changed, plus the scarf pattern is completely different. The snow flakes are also completely unique on each one.

And Here is a Similar Snowman Flag

The Basic Flag Design is the Same, But It's a Different Look - Fun, Isn't It?

A Fun Sailboat Flag For A Beach House

Flags for fun - Sailboat

Living near the beach, I get lots of requests for "beach" flags . . .

Here's the newest version of a sailboat flag featured on a bright blue background with whitecaps dancing on the water and the sails catching the wind. On this particular decorative outdoor flag, the letter "R" was monogrammed for personalization.

A Puddle Duck Flag For Fun

What A Sweet Spring Flag!

Flags for fun - duck

While this flag was actually made with a bought pattern, I changed enough of the pattern pieces to make it my own.

I've made a few of this duck flag and have made enough changes on every single one that I was comfortable with calling each a custom made one of a kind flag.

Isn't it the sweetest looking flag? It's one of my earlier favorites.

While I do work outside the home a few days a week, a majority of my time is spent on crafts that I create at home for my own enjoyment or for sale. Feel free to take a moment to read how I fill up my days . . .

Flags are Fun For Small Businesses, Too!

Flags Are A Great Advertising Tool

Flags for fun - pineapple

Yes, the pineapple is a symbol for the word "Welcome" and makes a great greeter for a business.

This particular flag has space left open on the bottom of it until the business owner decides if he wants the name of his store or the word Welcome monogrammed on the bottom of the flag.

A Fun Farm Flavor Flag

(Say that three times quickly!)

flags for fun - cow

Here is another one of my favorites!

I was raised in Southern Maine right across from my grandparent's farm, so the sight of cows and a big barn were familiar sights for me. This one flag evoked many childhood memories when I hung it up and I still have it in the closet.

Yes, it comes out occasionally when we are not in a particular Holiday season where I have a seasonal flag out instead.

Sports Flags Can Be Fun, Too!

Flags for fun - Patriots

I have three sons so sports were a large part of their growing up. Each one of them chose a football team from a young age to cheer for on game day and they all wanted their team flags hanging on their bedroom walls.

Here is the New England Patriot flag that I made for my oldest quite a few years ago.

Fun Monogrammed Flags

Play With Letter Flags

Flags for fun - B

I have a few flags that I've made in the past that featured a huge capital letter as the main part of the flag. Add some embellishment and the client was thrilled with the end result.

Here is a photo of a capital B on a dark green background with a few simple flowers to dress it up.

This type of flag makes a great gift for the person who has everything . . .

Custom Made Mailbox Cover Flags

Flags For Fun Also Makes MailBox Covers

Flags for fun - July 4 mailbox cover

Not everyone wants a flag pole in front of their house and some just don't want a large flag.

I have a solution to that and it's called "mailbox covers"!!!!!

Yes, I make a small flag-like version for your mailbox (I make them to fit the standard postal mailbox size) in the color and simple design that you'd like for only $20!

They are made of the same durable and color fast fabric as the larger 3'x5' flags and will look great covering your mailbox.

Here is the Facebook link where I have a more extensive photo album of my flags and mailbox covers. Just click on the album titled "Flags and Mailbox Covers".

    Do you have any interest in doing a large doodle dog flag? Maybe 3x5?
