I was curious if anyone has built their own flag/float
________________
While I was helping my girlfriend move, I found she had a couple yards of bright red nylon fabric she was going to throw away (same fabric flags are made of) she also had some other colors and a tad of White... So I got to thinking hey I could make a flag.
So I kept the fabric to the side and have a handful of dowel rods that I am contributing to the flag pile...
My idea was getting a .88 cent round tube float from Wal-mart building one bright red cover for it. Creating a pole out of the dowel rods (one set of crossbars on one half of the float the other set of cross bars on the upper half) creating a 2 foot high extension and sewing the flag... and 50 ft of rope
Attaching it all together and poof a less than 10 dollar float/flag

Just curious if anyone has built something as mundane as a dive flag and float and if they had any tips on how to make something like this work enough to keep......
