Thanks Kaz

what about polyester shower curtain ? get loads of flags out of one of those

good idea mugsman, but they need it to be done properly with the eyelets etc, and at the moment, i dont have time to dig out my sewing machine, so i will be using ready made

Ahhh, eyelets are easier than you think! Check with a local marine supply shop/chandlery for a grommet punch system, it's a multiple step process to punch out a hole with a special die and a hammer, then a 2 part grommet (top and bottom) is inserted through the hole and a hand held die set is hammered down to seal the material in-between the 2 halves of the grommet. Here's a link to a UK shop where you can get all the grommet tools you need! http://www.handtools-uk.com/default.php?cPath=54 The grommets are a specific size so determine ahead of time what size is best for a flag and get that size tool and grommets! i have used this exact same setup to add grommets to flags, canvas, tarps etc... it's quite simple and the grommets hold very strong and have lasted years!

i would still need to hem them, which is time consuming, when i can buy a pre made flag of reasonable quality - but thanks for the link
