Buy some bias binding from John Lewis and sew the flags onto it and pin round the room like bunting

Could you run a curtain line (the flexible ones you use for nets) round the room at ceiling height and hang them from that?

hunkerpumpkin · 15/10/2005 19:56

Blimey!

How big's his room? Can you do them from the ceiling, like big swathey sails?

You could make a patchwork quilt with them - very cosmopolitan for a boy from the sticks

Make a pin board from them!

Square of plywood covered in wadding covered in plain cotton. Then sew all the flags together in a big sqauare and cover the board with them. The sew on elastic diagonally in both directions so you get a criss cross of elastic to hold the notes on the notice board.

codface · 15/10/2005 21:12

sew... me?
ooooh no i cant

If the flags on on sticks, tape them in pairs with the sticks together & flags at opposite ends. When you have 3 pairs of flags like this, use cord to fix then all together like a wagon wheel. Could then be hung from the ceiling or fixed to the wall.

codface · 16/10/2005 15:43

whizzy good idea
do flag holders not exist?
