Very cool.

Here's a trick.

1.Tape a piece of facial tissue to a piece of paper. Make sure you tape all 4 edges!
2. Load the paper/tissue in to your inkjet printer.
3. Print your flag. Make sure it prints on the tissue.
4. Carefully pull apart the layers of tissue and presto, you've printed the flag on both sides.
5. Dull coat and hoist!

Can't wait until they add more to it. I'ld like to see a rising sun and a 48 star US added. Also don't remember seeing a Soviet flag, but i may have missed it.

Gunny,

Pretty neat site. I'll have to try the "Gator" special for the flag printing.

Ahoy mates. Here's a photo sbs of making flags.

First you need tape, paper and facial tissue.


Next, tape your tissue to the paper (highlighted in red).


Print your flags using "best" or "photo" setting.




Once the ink is dry, cut your flags out and peel apart the tissue plys.


Presto...instant double sided flag. Apply a coat of clear flat and it's ready to use.

Go out and make some flags.
