The ones I have in mind are the flags kids wave at parades.

But I want nice (cotton?) cloth for the flags and not stapled to the stick.

Any ideas?

The magic search terms are “american-made” and “stick flag” There are zillions of online sources.

How many do you want? You can get a gross (144) of cotton 4x6" flags for $29 from [these people](http://www.cvsflags.com/stick.cfm). They don’t specify how they’re attached, but they don’t appear to be stapled in the photo.

Thanks, folks.
