8. Make the flag. We printed 2 pieces of sign artwork so you could see it from all angles. Click the links below for North Pole sign artwork. Print both then cut a flag like the one shown at the top of this page from your paper pieces. Glue the two pieces together, leaving about a 1/2 inch margin on the sides that you will use to attach the flag to the pole. Fold the margin pieces outward, apply hot glue and attach the flag to the pole. Congratulations, your North Pole Christmas decoration is now complete!
