Christmas Santa Garden Flag Tutorial

Does your yard need something more to show off your holiday spirit? A Christmas garden flag could be the perfect missing touch! Follow this tutorial to make a quick and easy Santa garden flag.

The Christmas season is ripe with inspiration for amazing craft projects! Whether you enjoy making your own DIY ornaments, holiday decor, or prefer to stick to cute Christmas crafts, there are plenty of ideas so that everyone can have fun making something.

I particularly love decorating our house for Christmas, and every year, I add at least one new DIY addition to our collection!

We have tons of cute interior decorations, including my DIY wooden Christmas tree and Christmas gnome.

And I’ve made some fun Christmas porch decor that we enjoy pulling out to display. But I find that just decorating the front porch isn’t quite enough – the yard looks too bare!

Lately, I’ve been infatuated with making DIY garden flags for every season. So, naturally, I came up with a Christmas design! I love this simple Santa garden flag, and I know you will too.

How To Make A Santa Garden Flag For Christmas

Believe it or not, Christmas garden flags are surprisingly easy to make. After taking a look around my local stores to see how much a Santa garden flag costs, I decided to make my own.

Supplies Needed

I’m using a special fabric that makes this project quick and easy! Here’s what you’ll need to gather to make this craft:

• OlyFun in red, black, and gold
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Marker
• Sewing machine

DIY Santa Garden Flag Video Tutorial

The OlyFun makes this a super easy project. It’s a material that is great for outdoors and will not fray when you cut it, allowing us to cut out the components for this flag and not worry about the raw edges. I love that!

Watch the video below for a short demonstration of how to make this Santa garden flag.

Christmas Santa Garden Flag Instructions

This project will amaze you as it comes together in just minutes. Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Cut Out The Belt

Cut a 3-inch strip of black OlyFun.

Step 2: Cut Out The Belt Buckle

Cut a 5-inch square of gold OlyFun.

Then, cut out a 3-inch square from the center of the gold OlyFun to create the buckle outline.

Step 3: Cut Out The Flag

Cut a flag shape from the red OlyFun. It should be as wide as your black strip and long enough to make a pocket to hang.

I also cut the bottom in a “V” to give it that classic shape.

Step 4: Create The Pocket

This is at the top for hanging your garden flag. Mine measures 2 inches.

Step 5: Add The Belt

Sew the black OlyFun into place on the red Santa garden flag.

Step 6: Add The Gold Buckle

Sew the gold buckle into place on the flag.

Hang your flag outdoors to enjoy this Christmas.

I love this Christmas garden flag, and I know that you will too! The best part is that it will last for years, so you can pull and use it year after year.

Santa Garden Flag FAQs

Do you have questions about making a DIY garden flag? I have answers for you! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below.

Can I glue this Santa garden flag together instead of sewing it?

Yes, you can! You could use your hot glue gun (which dries faster) or super glue to bring this project together if you don’t want to sew it. That said, this Santa garden flag is the perfect project for beginner sewers if you need an excuse for a little practice!

Could I add loops at the top instead of sewing one long pocket to hang this flag?

Yes, that’s an option. However, in my experience, that will take more work and make it harder than one long pocket to actually hang your flag.
