I would like to do this and have all the elements except for the sweing machine. Do you need to sew them. will it not work with just the craft glue?

Oh how I wish I had a Yudu now so I could do a similar thing on some ribbon strips! This reminds me of those cute flags you get from Medival Times. So tempted to do this, I think it's a great sub for rice/confetti!

Oh my goodness i LOVE this idea! we've been looking at venues who are really picky about what can and can't be used for the departure and i was beginning to lose hope on finding something! so THANK YOU!!

you can do the double-sided tape around the dowel (i used glue), then secure it from the outside by hand sewing it if you want a similar look to mine. best advise is to do some tests. try the tape and see if it holds well enough for a few hours of waving. good luck!

I love it, and I am making YAY fans instead since I am getting married in July outside. I am using large pop cycle sticks and thick paper and glue. When I saw this tutorial way back when, I knew I would do it…now time is ticking so I am gonna try it!!!

Beautiful! I'm thinking about trying 5 ft long dowels and using the flags to lead guests down a pathway.

how about if you don't have a sewing machine? any thought to attach them to the dowel with double sided tape?

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
