This is great! No one seems to allow rice, birdseed, sparklers, etc anymore (and for good reasons.) Flags are a neat replacement! Thanks.

anyone know if you can recycle these after the wedding, with the dowels and all? I LOVE this idea, but I'm afraid of all the paper that would be wasted

Seems like with the wood in there, they'd be more than recyclable — they'd be down right compostable!

I used a regular all-purpose sewing needle. I've sewed paper lots of times, for various art projects. It probably dulls the tip a bit, but I haven't noticed difficulty in sewing since the flags. I think I would change it if I were going to sew a lightweight fabric like silk or chiffon, but it's been fine otherwise.

Wow, sewing a pole hem in the paper looks great. I have never seen this before, but I would definitely do something like this at my wedding.

I don't know if it matters, but what kind of needle did you use in your sewing machine to sew through the paper?
