Make a wood flag with a jute hanger.
Materials: White Elmer's glue, flag image, scrap wood, jute string, red acrylic paint, Mod Podge Matte-Mat-Mate, glue gun
INSTRUCTIONS for creating a wood flag sign:

2) Next, measure and cut a piece of scrap wood size 11" wide x 2 1/2"
3) Lightly sand and paint the wood red
4) Next, brush on a thin layer of Elmer's white glue on the painted wood. Add a drop or 2 of water to the glue so it will spread easily.
