Quick answer
Display your hand-made Jolly Roger flag indoors on a wall or outdoors on a porch, using twine or a flagpole, and protect it from prolonged moisture.
Why the Jolly Roger Still Resonates
The Jolly Roger flag has been a symbol of piracy and rebellion since the early 18th century. Pirates flew it to intimidate targets, but today it represents a free spirit and surf culture. Slightly Choppy Artifacts honors this legacy with a hand-made pennant flag that uses washed black canvas and stained felt appliqué.
How to display your Jolly Roger flag
- Choose your location: Indoors: hang on a wall with a small nail or adhesive hook. Outdoors: fly from a porch railing, deck, or flagpole. Avoid areas with direct rain or sprinklers. Outdoor display shortens the flag's life; bring it inside during storms.
- Secure the flag: Use the natural twine and twill tape at the top to tie the flag to a pole, hook, or nail. For a wall display, loop the twine over a nail and let the flag hang freely. Do not staple or glue the flag; the twine is designed for easy mounting.
- Protect from the elements: If displaying outdoors, position the flag under an eave or overhang. The washed canvas and felt can fade or stain if soaked repeatedly. For long life, treat it as an indoor decor piece and only use outdoors for special occasions.
- Clean gently when needed: Dust the flag with a soft brush or shake it outside. For spots, dab with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry flat. Do not machine wash or submerge; the felt appliqué may detach.
