Prayer Flags


I've seen pictures of Tibetan Prayer flags through the years and I've always been intrigued by the thought of this concept. Flags that fly in everyday places and spaces that represent the hearts cry of a particular group of people or individual.


I believe in prayer and I'm a praying person...so I decided to make some prayer flags of my own.  Taking vintage fabrics and scraps along with a little of this and that I have my own flags flying in a garden outside my door, although you can hang them anywhere.  


I chose a garden because it's the place where I watch life grow.  I want my life to grow too.  Although the flags will be weathered by the elements I like the idea that they still stand in spite of it all. Prayer helps me to do this, stand in spite of it all.


 I've strung 3 flags together, each are about 8"x 10".  Each one has a different prayer theme.  

Hope, Love and Faithfulness and Being Still before God, are the themes here.



 As they wave in the air I am reminded of prayer 
and what I want to be praying for. 
 I don't know about you but I'm grateful for prayer 
and any reminders that help me believe and 
pray to God are definitely welcome!

If you would like a set of prayer flags for yourself or a friend.  Please contact me.  They make a unique gift.  

The cost is $20 for a set of 3. If you want an individual flag the cost is $8.

The pictures below are flags that I have already made for previous orders.  Just want to give you an idea of what they end up looking like! :)
