Flashes-My first attempt...
As I was getting my things together for a party tomorrow I found that I did not have any flashes to match my Irish National kilt. I knew not even the lightening fast shipping of SWK could help me. So I did what any x-marks genius would do. I made my own. I had the garters off another set of flashes so all that I needed was the flashes themselves.
I went to Wally World (Walmart) and got some green felt and some felt glue.
Using my Black Watch flashes as a pattern I started cutting. I found a large size papercutter, like you had in school, did a great job. But then I found the felt was too thin by itself so I doubled it and glued a piece of cardboard between the two pieces. It worked great. I also got some red felt to make flashes for my son's Wallace kilt. It is thicker felt so I may not need the cardboard. Will post pics of both on Monday.
