Swap name: Prayer Flag Swap - Spring 2023
Sign-up date range: May 26 -June 9
Send out Date: July 10
You will craft one flag for your partner.
If your flag is fairly flat with no 3-D embellishments, you could send this in a business envelope. It is required that you use tracking however you choose to mail.
How to Make Prayer Flags (Instructions are from Cloth Paper Scissors. The article is no longer online.) These instructions are just a suggestion. You are free to modify your flag any way you want!
Cut pieces of fabric to 5" x 11". Use materials you already have on hand.
Fold the top down on each piece of fabric and stitch in place to create a 3" sleeve, making the flag surface 5" x 8".
Paint, stitch, embroider, appliqué, or collage the flags.
Add words, journaling, or symbols as desired. You can appliqué letters, add hand stitching, stencil with textile paint, or just write with a permanent marker.
Thread the flags onto a string or cord and hang them outdoors so the breeze will catch them and spread your intentions.
FLAGS can be made from fabric, yarn, man-made fabric-like material, canvas, scraps, and they can be embellished with embroidery, buttons, charms, beads, and whatever else you have on hand.
Flags are intended to be hung outside, with unfinished edges so the birds and weather carry away your good thoughts and wishes and spread them all over the world. You can make more finished flags and it is up to you and your partner if the flags are for decoration or sending good vibes out.
Details of swap:
–You will craft one prayer flag for each partner, keeping your partner’s preferences in mind.
– Please post in this thread at least once a week so we know you are still crafting with us.
