This took me some time ... a lot of time. I hand made each of the flags which I research the patterns online, added them to jute twine, then tied a knot and glued that to the ends of the rope. Added a printed off background, and sentiment, also added digital clip art of the life preserver and a glass of ice tea. I added silver brads as well, and colored the rope brown.
