Fabric Prayer Flags — Pattern & Playbook

This is my absolute favorite sewing project ever and now you can make your own! String them up in your tent at festivals, across your living room for a party, on your patio, in a window — honestly, anywhere that needs a little more color and joy.

This isn't just a pattern — it's a whole playbook. You get the printable flag pattern plus step by step instructions, process photos, and pages of decorating ideas to inspire you. Tie-dye them, stencil them, stamp words on them, splatter them with textile paint — there's no wrong way to make these.

What you get:

• 6-page printable PDF — instant download

• Flag pattern piece (print at 100% for a 7" x 5" flag — scale up or down to any size you want)

• Step by step sewing instructions with photos

• Decorating ideas and technique photos — stenciling, letter stamping, tie-dye, dye splattering, and more

• Inspiration gallery showing flags at art shows, on patios, in windows, and at workshops

• Links to my favorite supplies on Amazon

Skill level: Beginner friendly! If you can sew a straight line, you can make these. I designed the flags to look organic — imperfect edges and fraying are part of the charm.

These make amazing gifts, party decorations, and festival booth vibes. I've also taught this as a workshop and people absolutely love it.

I'd love to see what you make! Tag me @karenpaytonartist on Instagram or email me at karen@karenpayton.com with your finished flags.

Please make for personal use only and don't resell the pattern. Thank you for your love and support of my art!
