I've got a plain red flag - I'm getting (making) a black one and also a red and black one.

1) How easy is it to make a red and black flag? Whats the best method?

2) What should I write/draw on each flag (open question)

3) In the UK, what is the likelihood of getting any bother for having a wooden or (light) metal flag pole on you? Can you get it stolen by the pigs, can it be classified as a weapon, etc.

4) Whats the best thing to use to write on/draw on your basic cotten fabric?

5) Any suggesitons on a good size? (Oncemore open question)

Pretty easy if you have a sowing machine or if you know how to use needle and thread.

2) What should I write/draw on each flag (open question)
I wouldn't draw anything on them, keep it simple.

3) In the UK, what is the likelihood of getting any bother for having a wooden or (light) metal flag pole on you? Can you get it stolen by the pigs, can it be classified as a weapon, etc.
I have no idea, it probably depends on the situation and the cop.

4) Whats the best thing to use to write on/draw on your basic cotten fabric?
Graffiti? Maybe use a stencil to get a good result.

5) Any suggesitons on a good size? (Oncemore open question)
Not too big, not too small.;)

For the size, i'd suggest using a 1:2 ratio, and 75cmx150cm feels like it would be the right size. I've held 1mx2m flags and theyre way to big without a big flagpole.

I did a similar project to this with a green and black flag using pretty much the dimensions described and had little to no hassel with it :)

its pretty easy i made a similar thing and i just sewed it. it took some time but it was worth it, but if you have a sewing machine it would definilty speed it up a bit



2) What should I write/draw on each flag (open question)



id leave it plain but if you had to put an anrchy sign (original i know) or a star


3) In the UK, what is the likelihood of getting any bother for having a wooden or (light) metal flag pole on you? Can you get it stolen by the pigs, can it be classified as a weapon, etc.

i dont live in the UK but id say they would make up an excuse to put you in the can


4) Whats the best thing to use to write on/draw on your basic cotten fabric?

im sure you could find some felt markers or some markers for writing on fabrics if you can find these i guess a permanent marker would to ok



5) Any suggesitons on a good size? (Oncemore open question)


im not sure some one said a 1:2 ratio id say thats ok
