Sir_Scoutalot Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 What's the best place to locate large leather or canvas pieces for constructing a patrol flag? I tried this a couple of years ago and was unable to locate a big leather piece at the local craft store. Any advice on paints, sealants, and other materials related to construction would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleInKY Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 We called around some local flag dealers and found one that sold "blanks". I'm guessing they are about 18x30 inches. The boys used markers to color on them, which turned out to be a mistake. Plain ball-point pens or waterproof paint worked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperParatus Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Did you try Tandy Leather? - they should be online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattlePioneer Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I collect pieces of brightly colored cloth when I find them for use as raw material for patrol or den flags. Last weekend, a Cub Pack used these materials to make den flags for all the dens. I pick them up at thrift shops or garage sales, sometimes buying old clothes with useful cloth in them. If Scouts want something fancier, I figure they can Scout it out themselves. Seattle Pioneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
