This video shows the process I used to make a draped American Flag. This is not my original design. I got the inspiration from Hanley’s Homestead Channel. He did a great job laying out the measurements. I created a drawing from his measurements which you’ll see me refer to. This is my version. There are time stamps listed below for specific parts of the process.
