FILZKUNST-WANDERWEG
The felted flag chain - Austria and the world are felting!
PARTICIPATION IS WELCOME😊
We would like to decorate our felt art hiking trail with a chain of felted flags. These flags can be rectangular, square, round or triangular. We also remain flexible in terms of size. As an approximate size we suggest about 20 x 30 cm. The flags can be designed in one colour or with a pattern – the more variety there is, the better! It would be nice if the flags were personalized. If you want, you can write your first name and nationality on the back.
Sooner or later, the chain of flags will accompany the entire felt art hiking trail.
The flags are meant to symbolize tolerance: Different flags symbolize peaceful coexistence. It does not matter who felted the flag – neither nationality, nor religion, nor skin color, nor age, etc.Unfortunately, tolerance has been forgotten by many people lately. However, tolerance is the basis for peace. And peace, as we all know, starts in small ways within each of us.
Therefore, our flag chain will ultimately also be a symbol of peace!
You are very welcome to send us group work or several flags that tell a story or have been created under a certain motto. We will also present some of them on our website.
Our suggestion: Felting flags is very suitable for group work. It could be, among other things, an excellent teambuilding measure for companies, schools, clubs and much more.
Please send your felted flags to the following address:
Association of the INTERNATIONAL FELT ART HIKING TRAIL,
Hönigtal Schulstrasse 40, 8301 Kainbach
We would like to thank you for the many flags from all over the world that we have already received!!! We Found a nice place for each one along our felt art hinking trail!
A big thank you to Ariane Mariane (international officer of the IFA - International Feltmakers Association), who organized a worldwide Zoom online flag felting, which resulted in beautiful flags!
