Instructions

    • 1

      Buy some bright yellow fabric made out of a durable material like nylon or polyester. The amount of fabric will depend on how many referee flags you want to make. You can find this at any local arts and crafts store.

    • 2

      Slice the fabric into 14 1/2-inch squares. 14 1/2 inches are the regulation size of a referee flag.

    • 3

      Put some sand or another item in center of the freshly cut fabric. Some people use a ball in the center. Whatever you use it just needs to give the penalty flag enough weight for throwing but be safe for you to throw around the house.

    • 4

      Stitch or sew the fabric securely around the center weight. A sewing machine may be required to get the stitches tight enough so that the center weight will not leak or come loose. Also, be sure to leave enough room around the stitches so it is not so tight that the stitches burst.
