  Step 1

  Start by finding a picture of your flag, or draw an example (This is optional, but I always prefer to do that).
  Then you draw one in the size you actually want and cut it out.

• 

  Step 2

  Use a scrap of cardboard or plastic, and cut a square a little bit smaller than what you want your flag to turn out like.

• 

  Step 3

  Now use the fabric and cut out the pieces of your flag. Since I made the Norwegian flag I cut out a red square in the size of my drawing, and a couple of blue and white stripes, the blue ones being thinner than the white ones.
  (Remember to make two of each, if you want your flag to be double sided)

• Step 4

  If you want your flag to look a little worn just pull out some threads from the edges. This is of course easier with flags that only have straight angles in them.

• 

  Step 5

  Glue the base colour(for me it's the red square) on to the cardboard or plastic square. Then you glue on the rest of the fabric-bits.
  Repeat on the other side(reversed) if you want it doublesided.

• 

  Step 6

  Using a thick needle, or something similar, punch a small hole in the top-left corner.

• 

  Step 7

  Insert a jumpring, add the chain or thread, and it's ready to wear! :)
