8. Make the flag. We printed 2 pieces of sign artwork so you could see it from all angles. Click the links below for North Pole sign artwork. Print both then cut a flag like the one shown at the top of this page from your paper pieces. Glue the two pieces together, leaving about a 1/2 inch margin on the sides that you will use to attach the flag to the pole. Fold the margin pieces outward, apply hot glue and attach the flag to the pole. Congratulations, your North Pole Christmas decoration is now complete!

The top where you have the decoration, I decided to change that out to a light with a globe, so the pole is lit up at night. I will not have a fancy bottom like yours as mine be buried in 2 feet of snow so the bottom won't much matter.Â
I am not sure if this site allows for pics, but I would have loved to share my outdoor version, it was alot of fun to build. Thank you for the inspiration.
You are correct, this was made for in indoor display. What did you use outdoors? Off the top of my head I would sy PVC pipe and red duct tape would make a good pole.
Great inexpensive indoor decoration!
