Custom Street Pole Banners - Custom Feather Flags


Monday, November 18, 2013
If you are thinking in what way you can display a flag without hoisting it and safe keep it at the same time, you can try putting it in a flag case. There are available flag cases in stores but they are not often available just anywhere, usually you need to find a specialty store for it. Nonetheless, you can make a flag case on your own.
Before purchasing materials to build one, you must measure the folded flag then decide on what size you want for a frame. When measuring the folded flag, make sure to measure the two diagonal sides as well as the horizontal side.
Deciding on the type of wood grain is also important. Hardwood materials are recommended so it can last longer and will not be affected by termites.
Since flag frames are ideally triangular in shape, cut the wood following 45 degree angles. It is advisable to leave a space, at least one-fourth inch, from the flag to the edge of the frame in order have a room for glass or acrylic installation.
Use a speed square or framing square to measure the long portion of the angle board. Make light markings to serve as your guide before cutting pieces of wood. Segregate the cut pieces properly.

Cut the longer pieces to have a short point then cut the short point again to make a long point. Make sure all sides fit together for a perfect 45 degree angle and tight and strong enough to hold the flag inside.
