Folded flag

Post by Teresa »

I've had an email asking if I can fold a flag into a triangle and frame it for a presentation, Im sure the local sea scouts could fold it, any idea's on how to frame it and what to charge.

Assuming you want it folded like the 'Stars & Stripes', usually seen on tv/film etc, then This link should help

and This thread from the grumble discusses framing options

I know this isn't quite the same thing but you may be interested....
Many years ago a customer brought in a chequered flag signed by James Hunt. If I'd framed it flat the handle would have taken up a lot of frame space and the signature would be almost lost on a large expanse of flag. A triangular box frame wiith the flag folded and stitched in place solved this problem nicely.

I order in made frames from sparta craft. They do a great job and high quality work. Is this a USA flag? What type is it since there are a few diferent sizes here in the states and fold a bit different.
