    These 40 mini flags are lots of fun to stitch - because each one measures just 2.3x3.3cm, you can make lots and turn them into badges, cake toppers or even magnets! Use waste canvas to stitch your flags on to felt - we've got a waste canvas tutorial to help you!

    Don't miss your bonus flag charts on the CrossStitcher website!

    If you like this, you can find more Fiona Crouch cross stitch on The Making Spot, and don't miss her cute 'n' quirky Etsy shop too!

    Here are a few of my flags. You'll see I haven't finished all of the backstitch yet!

    I've just started making these flags, they're so much fun! I couldn't find waste canvas in my local craft shop, so I'm trying soluble canvas - seems to be working okay so far...
