For the flag you'll need 3 fabric shapes,

The base of the flag rectangle (5" x 6.5")

3 stripes per flag (1" x 6.5")

Small rectangle for the upper left corner (2" x 3")

The base of the flag is 5 inches wide, and 6.5 inches

The stripes are 1 inch wide, by 6.5 inches long. This makes 3 stripes fit well per flag. If you want more stripes, make them 1/2 inch thick instead.

The small rectangle is 2 inches wide, by 3 inches long

You make these shapes by measuring the desired shape and cutting a 1/4" slit into the fabric. Then ripping the fabric into the desired size. You can also just cut the fabric into the pieces but I like the rustic and imperfect look of ripping the material instead. (It's faster this way too!)

Next you play around the design by assembling the flag to look how you'd like, then gluing the pieces into place with your hot glue gun.

For the fabric strips between the flags on the banner, you do the same method of cutting a small slit, then ripping into the desired length. I cut my pieces 1 inch wide, and 14 inches long.

Set aside any tiny fabric pieces to use when gluing the flags onto the banner. This will make the flag more secure when gluing to the banner string.

Once you have all the flags made and fabric strips, cut a piece of string 6ft long.

To assemble the banner, tie off a small loop on one end of the string to make a loop to hang the banner from a nail or hook.

Tie 3 fabric strips onto the string 1 inch away from the loop. I used this simple method to make uniform and cute ties on my banner.

Lay the flag facing away from you, under the string, 2 inches away from the fabric strips.

Apply hot glue to 2 small fabric scraps.

Place the scraps onto the fabric where the string is laid securing the flag to the string.

Once the glue has dried, tie 3 more fabric strips on to the string 2 inches away from the flag.

Repeat this process into all of the flags and fabric scraps are on the string.

Tie off the loose end of the string into a loop.
