Flag Making

[+The Slaughter Family]

Morning all.

 

I now have some white flags for personalising.

 

has anyone used the computer paper that you iron on for their flags, and was it successful??

I used it on a sail flag and it seems ok as long as you dont crumple the flag up when you store it.

We use them regularly for t-shirts that get crumpled and washed.

 

My only thought would be that to iron them on, you have to get the iron really hot. What are the flags made out of?

Hi

Make sure that the paper you are using will work on 100% Polyester... Most of the papers are meant for cotton t shirts and may not adhere to your flag...

We have just decorated another flag like yours with our T Shirt vinyl.... Seems to stick OK but the glue permeates the material a bit but when it's on the top of a pole ........

The banner you saw at the Sussex event was done with a special vinyl for ripstop / nylon which needs a heat press to get the temp / pressure

 

The best way to decorate these flags is to screen print / paint them with polyester dyes but would make it one sided.. or cut out your design and sew it on

See you next week

Thanks dave, will check but suspect that the cotton aspect is right....I did wonder. Think I might have to get my needle and cotton out and find some fabric

See you there, hopeful that we will be near the main buildings
