Looking for a festive way to decorate your garden this holiday season? Make a Christmas flag for your front lawn to add a little holiday cheer. You can even customize this one with your family’s name. All you need is a little felt, burlap, and a Cricut to get started.
Christmas garden flags are a great way to show your holiday spirit.
They add a splash of color and style to your outdoor space, and there are so many different Christmas-themed designs to choose from.
I love that you can customize this craft with your Cricut! Use it to make an adorable tree farm flag for your home. Plus I have a beginner’s guide to Cricut Design Space if you are new to the software along with some other great free downloads from some other bloggers below! Y’all enjoy!

Supplies needed to make this DIY Christmas flag
Some links below may be affiliate links which means that you do not pay anymore however a portion of your purchase will go to support this site. Some items below may also have been given to me free of charge however all projects and opinions are my own.
- Cricut Maker (Want to see the difference between the machines? I compared the Cricut Maker and Explore here.) NOTE: My recommendation is to use the Maker for all fabric projects including this one.
- Cricut Felt Carousel Sampler
- Burlap
- Sewing machine and thread
- Fabric glue
- Scissors
The reason I love my Cricut Maker for projects with felt is because of the clean cuts that I can get. Just look at these cuts!
You can find the file on my Cricut Design Space profile and scroll down to “Burlap Christmas Truck Garden Flag” then click Edit a Copy. Be sure to add your name and resize to fit the flag size that you will be using.

Instructions:
Cut the pieces from Cricut felt and remove from mat.
Cut your burlap with scissors to the size desired. Then lay out your pieces onto the burlap flag. Use fabric glue to secure the pieces into place and then allow to dry.
Then, sew all the way around your burlap with your sewing machine. This will keep your edges from fraying. Then, sew around all of your felt pieces with a sewing machine.
NOTE: You can just sew down the middle of the letters only if you would like.
Once you have all of your pieces sewn down, sew across the top in two places to make a pocket for your hanging rod.
Then your Christmas flag is complete and you can hang in your yard for a little Christmas cheer.
I am infatuated with the tree in the little red truck. I have used that design for this project as well as a shirt this year. (You can find the shirt file here.) I am wondering what else I can put this on before the holidays! You have to love it! Make this Christmas flag for your home and add a little holiday cheer to your front lawn.

OMG, I’m so happy I found this through the #HomeMattersParty! I have been looking to find out if the Cricut Maker would cut felt. Do you know if it would cut the less stiff felt? I’m wanting to make some felt toddler activities out of those felt sheets that are much more flexible
Definitely! The Maker is the machine for felt cutting!
