Mini Flag Holder

During STAAR testing, teachers place these small flags on the outside doorframe to signal the hall monitor they need a break.

Make Your Flag

Making a Flag

To make the flag, take a strip of duct tape and attach a plastic coffee stirrer to one end. Fold the remaining length in half and bring the sticky sides together. We used bright pink so it would be clearly visible. A strip of 10 to 12 inches should be sufficient.

Create the Holder in Tinkercad

The holder was created in Tinkercad using the cylinder tool. The bottom cylinder is 30 mm in diameter and 4 mm in depth. The top cylinder is 7 mm in diameter with a 5 mm hole through the center. It is 50 mm tall. It is placed on the base at a 30 degree angle.

Print the Holders

The holders were printed on a MakerBot 5th generation Replicator, 3 at a time. Attach a magnet to the underside of the base so that it will stick to the metal door frame.
