Mini Betsy Ross Historical Stick Flags – 4×6 inch Polyester with 10″ Plastic Pole – American Betsy Ross Flag

We do **not** recommend the 4"x6" size on a 10-inch plastic pole for cemetery turf or lawn lining. A 10-inch pole is too short and flexible to drive firmly into hard outdoor soil, and the compact 4"x6" flag can easily get hidden by tall cemetery grass. For outdoor grave marking and driveway lining, we strongly recommend our **12"x18" Betsy Ross Stick Flags mounted on solid 24-inch wooden dowels**, which are specifically built for outdoor turf insertion.

The Betsy Ross flag features a distinctive circle of thirteen 5-pointed white stars inside a royal blue canton, accompanied by thirteen alternating red and white stripes. Codified by the Second Continental Congress in the **Flag Act of June 14, 1777**, the thirteen stars and stripes represent the **original thirteen American colonies** that declared independence from Great Britain during the Revolutionary War. It remains one of America's most cherished historical symbols for educational and civic events.

Many discount 4"x6" stick flags sold in party stores are made from stiff printed paper or flimsy plastic sheets that tear easily, crinkle when handled, and dissolve if exposed to light rain or spilled drinks. Our **100% polyester fabric is water-resistant, tear-resistant, and features vivid aniline-dye printing** that will not bleed onto children's hands or clothing. They look far more dignified and can be saved and reused for multiple events.

Yes! Safety is a primary engineering consideration for this miniature series. The **10-inch shaft is made from smooth, flexible black plastic** that will never splinter or crack like cheap wooden skewers. Additionally, the top of the shaft is capped with a **rounded, ornamental gold spear tip** that provides a traditional military presentation without having sharp points, making them ideal and safe for classroom distribution.

After your school event, parade, or holiday banquet, gather the stick flags into neat bundles and store them lying flat inside a sealed storage box or dry closet. Ensure the polyester fabric is completely dry before packing away. Storing them flat prevents the flexible 10-inch plastic shafts from bending and keeps the fabric free of unsightly creases so they are ready for immediate waving next season.
