How to Make a Garden Flag with the Cricut

Sharing is caring!

Learn how to use your Cricut and Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets to make your own garden flag. You can swap out the flowers for different seasons!

I’ve been wanting to make a new garden flag; there’s so many cute designs for sale, but I wanted something with our street number on it. One of the numbers fell off our wood sign and rather than fix it, I figured I’d just make a fabric sign. I’ll fix the wood sign eventually, right?

I purchased some sublimation blank garden flags on Amazon, then used snaps to attach the sunflowers. The snaps allow me to snap each flower on and then remove them to exchange the flowers for something more seasonally appropriate. I can use these sunflowers for Fall, but switch to something else in the Spring, Summer, and Winter. What do you think the flower for each season should be? Leave me a comment!
