banner2

Not being able to find banner flags in O scale it was time to make my own. The image below

"banner long" will produce a line of flags 9 inches long. Resize the image to make larger or smaller flags.

 Making the flags:

 Print the image

Fold and crease the paper on the line between <|> the flags

Unfold the paper and apply stick glue (I use Avery Glue Stic in the purple tube)

 Here you have 2 choices either insert a small wire or thread in the crease or just glue together

 Take scissors and cut the paper along the bottom points of the flags

Using an Xacto knife with a new blade cut a line between each flag

(if using wire or thread cut along it. No wire cut about 1/16 inch down from fold.

Now holding the top fold area with your finger nail cut from the fold cut line down to the points.

Each flag has a black outline cut the line.

 

The 2 images below are the original size with no wire the second is a slightly enlarged flag with

Magnet wire placed inside the fold.

 The image is at the bottom labeled  "Banner Long"

The images are extreme close-ups to show the cuts the white areas do not show much at distance.

I use Microsoft Word to resize and print the image.
