Fraternity Flag



I am a lucky lady with wonderful, handsome, and let's not forget, frat-tastic boyfriend. Just another excuse to get crafting! He's a member of a Music Fraternity called Phi Mu Alpha, and told me about how much he wanted a flag but couldnt find one. Well, his birthday is coming up and I couldn't find one either, so I rolled up my sleeves and got to work:





 Materials (all are pictured): Glue Gun, Two colors of fabric material, glue gun, stick on alphabet in colors of your choosing for text, border (pictured in gold), fraternity crest(not pictured)
Step 1: Take your primary color (black) and cut it to the dimensions you want. Take your secondary color (red) and cut them the same. Fold your secondary color in half, hamburger style, and cut it into a triangle. When you unfold it, it should be two triangles connected at the tip. Lay your secondary color on top of the primary color and hot glue them together beginning at the corners and working your way inward. 

Step 2: Lay out ALL the text, crest, date, phrase, etc of your choosing BEFORE hot glueing  them onto the flag. Keep the crest/symbol in the center. Apply the border starting at the corners and your done!




Happy Crafting!
