I was so taken with the idea of cheery flags as a ceremony send-off that I did something crazy.
I crafted. This is major. I even used a paint brush! And I wore a smock. A smock!
I ordered small canvas flags from Oriental Trading and a YAY stencil from Just Stencils. Then my mom had to teach me to stencil because I must have missed that day in third grade. Stenciling is no joke! But I got the hang of it.
Look Mom! Look what I did!
We used green and blue paints for a breezy summery feel. After they dried we put a dab of glue on the wooden sticks to keep the canvas flags in place. Then we stuck about fifty of them in a $3 fake Nantucket basket from the Christmas Tree Shoppe and called it a day.
The flags will be handed out at the end of the ceremony for people to wave as we exit the church. But I hope our guests wave them all night long. I know I will. YAY!
those look so awesome! it will be a great send off!
Those are SO cute! Maybe its just my crazy eyes, but for some reason, the stenciled image looks backwards to me. Well I guess it doesn’t matter which way you use the stencil because it still spells YAY! And I need to have my crazy eyes checked. hehe. I love them! Momma PChipz will be so proud! Those are going to be so fun to wave around. 
Yay! Those turned out great, and are going to make for some awesome pictures on your wedding day!
Lol… we’ve been sharing a brain I’m wrapping up my yay flags- using paper instead of canvas. So wish I had thought of stenciling fabric! Great job!
That’s great! I’m going to be stenciling canvas bags. What type of paint did you use?
Thanks.
@Miss Splash: It was paint my mom already had. Craft paint? Is that a thing?
Oh my gosh, these are so great! Look at you, all crafty, Miss PChips!
Very very cute. We’re doing ribbon flags, but I love yours!

After a year or seven together, down the aisle we go, slouching toward adulthood and planning a Rhodie party with equal parts whimsy, cheer, and pizza.
