Banners and Flags

Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue. -- George M. Cohan

Make money as an entrepreneur working at home designing and sewing banners and flags of all kinds. Sell kits with iron-on tape to put them together.

You are limited only by your imagination in this entrepreneurial business.  Stitch up your own designs or ask your customers to provide their own patterns.  Use nature themes as your inspiration.

Since these will be used outside, make certain that your material is waterproof. 

Make these a standard size to fit on generic garden rods or design you own rods, poles, or stands to sell with your banners and flags. 

What Kind of Flags and Banners can you Make?

mailbox flags
car flags
garden flags
 celebration flags
your school mascot flag
umbrellas
praise and worship flags for churches
mailbox covers
family crests
business ads

See our page on banner ideas for more ideas on how to use banners.  Make giant banners to hang from library walls or at home.  Retail stores will be interested in having their logo on a giant banner hanging from the wall of their store or in a display window. Churches will have ideas for you, too.

How do You do It?

Stitch pieces together like making a quilt or applique pieces onto a solid piece of weatherproof fabric.  Use
screen prints.
