Decorative flags in a pot
Instructions No. 1412The cheerful decorative flags can be sewn easily and quickly. In a pot they are a great good mood decoration for inside and outside.
Sew decorative flags
For one decorative flag you need two Fabric cutsMonochrome fabric in the size of approx. 56 x 60 cm and matching motif fabric in the size of approx. 51 x 50. download the pattern
Take the plain fabric twice and transfer the large triangle of the pattern onto the fabric. The fabric break is the crease edge.
From the motif fabric, you need to cut out the two small triangles on the template. Use a pair of pinking scissors. These give a particularly decorative fabric edge. Position the two small triangles on the plain Fabric cut, staple them together and sew them on.
Sew the large triangle together except for a small opening. Turn the sewing over and sew about 1.5 cm parallel to the fabric break along (drawstring). A wooden stick will later be inserted here as a flag holder. Place another seam directly on the outer edge of the flag cloth, guide it along the lower edge further, so that only the drawstring for the round staff remains open.
Terracotta Design the pot
Design the Terracotta pot with Outdoor Color paint in antique white and Nougat. You can achieve the wipe look by wiping dark paint into the still moist light colour. You can decorate the pot further with a Jute ribbon, wooden beads, small scattering piecesFill the pot with soft clay (alternatively, weigh down the pot with stones) to ensure that the decoration will be stable later. Take a wooden stick about 60 cm long, put the flag on it and then stick the stick into the still wet soft clay
