Wondering what everyone uses for your diy flags, what fabric ect. Got looking at mine and they are all fadded out and i dont want to use plain ol orange ones this year lol
-
i have used colored duct tape.
-
orange duct tapre make em as big as u want
-
Didnt even think of ducktape! I was thinking felt or old t shirts.
-
I've used a orange hunting vest. It's very light weight, just burn the edges after you cut it.
-
just cut the length you want , wrap it around the post, put on 1 or 2 more , cut them even. Now and then they need straightened, but nothing to it, its duct tape. What I mean is if the tape is facing you on the side , it is hard to see

Perfect, now to hunt down some blue camo ducktape so i can do my girlfriends flags in blue camo
-
Blue duct tape.
-

Michigan state Pennet I got 6 felt triangle shaped flags on clearence at Meijers by my house for under 5 bucks then painted msu logos and the tip ups to match the logos on the top ups msu green with black logos.. I even cut the stencils out my self the Sparty helmet .. I am sure If you check your local stores you may find some minI pennets for your favorite team.. no mater who they are google it see if they make them then some rustolem or krylon rattle cans to match the teams colors always a great gag for ice fishing..

Check EBay or a local large retailer
You can a roll of duct tape with your favorite NFL logo on it as well as all kinds of other logos from Dodge trucks to Campbell's soup =)
Good luck all :tipup:

I use either an old hunting vest or go to the fabric store and get a piece in whatever color I want.

Man I looked and looked for a good material and I am on my third year using thin plastic folder material. Like the folders for inside a school binder. Red is nice and visible.

I've been saving the purple Crown Royal Bags for years. You've got me thinking now.

Pats flag on a Beaver Dam (made in WI) tippy is just wrong. Everything's better with cheese! Something along these lines works.....
