Decorative Seasonal Flags Come In Many Shapes And Sizes

By Marissa Velazquez


Decorative seasonal flags continue to grow in popularity as they are a relatively inexpensive way for homeowners to spruce up their various outdoor spaces and express their unique interests. They come in many different shapes and sizes and the themes are almost limitless. They are also readily available at most larger department stores and home centers and can even be purchased online.

Seasonal flags have become an increasingly popular lawn and garden accessory. While they are available in various shapes and sizes, most banners of this type are fairly inexpensive. This is one reason many homeowners like to change them frequently, to go along with the change in seasons or to celebrate a particular holiday or festive occasion.

This type of decoration is usually displayed outdoors around the front of the house. However, they could be used indoors if desired. While the larger variety may be attached to a pole that would be inserted in a mounted bracket, the smaller variety typically hangs from a metal stand that can pushed into the ground almost anywhere.

Fine silk can pieced together to create the desired motif on some of the more expensive varieties. However, less expensive synthetic material, such as polyester, is often used for the more common variety. Screen printing the images in bulk quantity also helps reduce the cost of making each flag, which makes them more affordable for consumers.

Although these popular garden decorations are available in multiple shapes and sizes, they typically fall into either the large or small category. The larger variety are similar in size to a standard country flag, which would be flown from a pole mounted in the ground or inserted into a bracket attached to the side of the house. The smaller type is more versatile as the small metal holders can be placed along a garden path, near a mailbox or almost anywhere else the homeowner chooses.

There is almost no limit to the many seasonal themes you can find, which is another reason they are so popular. Most manufacturers have the major holidays covered, but it is easy to find themes that showcase particular elements that are associated with certain seasons. For instance, a colorful field of flowers or a honey bee hive would be popular themes to celebrate summer. For the autumn, pumpkins, fall leaves and cornucopias may be more appropriate.

Seasonal flags are also fairly easy to find. Many larger home centers and department stores carry them in their lawn and garden departments. However, there are also specialty stores that may carry some of the more unique designs. By shopping online, you may be able to find a specific theme that relates to a personal interest or hobby.

Decorative seasonal flags are a fun and inexpensive way to liven up an outdoor space. With so many shapes, sizes and themes available, any homeowner should find at least a few that appeal to them. To find something more unique or personal, try a quick search online.
