Or, if you only have a white banner to work with -Īs you can see, this creates stripes that are evenly sized! TINY STRIPE METHOD can be used on a plain white banner!
STEP 1: MIDDLE COLOR is your BANNER COLOR STEP 4: The Outside Sandwich is the border color! EXAMPLE: BISEXUAL FLAG (LIL STRIPE VS BIG STRIPE) STEP 3: Dye the left and right sides in THIRDS for the Second Sandwich STEP 2: 4 VERTICAL STRIPES as the First Sandwich STEP 1: MIDDLE COLOR IS YOUR BANNER COLOR
If you have stripes AND a chevron, the chevron goes last!ĮXAMPLE: DEMIGIRL (Sandwiching Symmetrical Color). Chevron effects rely on the big triangles and the triplet triangles! The large triangle should be dyed first as the bottom color to the chevron, and then the triplets as the top color to the chevron. In this case, the middle color can be achieved by either dyeing the entire banner the middle color in halves, or having the banner pre-dyed as the middle color. If you want them even, you have to dye the outside colors in thirds. Dying in halves on either side, with the central color as the “center stripe” pattern, will produce a smaller middle stripe. For flags with 3 colors only, the effect is different based on if you dye in halves or thirds. After that, you will dye the next color in 3rds, and the outermost color as the border. In this case, it’s a good idea to have your banner color already pre-dyed as the center stripe, and the 4 vertical stripes will be dyed with the color “sandwiching” the center stripe. Using the “4 vertical stripes” pattern will help you get the “sandwich effect” for flags with color gradients/symmetrical patterns (demigender, bigender, agender). DYE FROM THE INSIDE OUT, especially if you have a lot of colors!. (See: gay flag, aro flag) All this means is you get to make variants! Oh no! MORE FLAGS! THE HORROR. Sometimes you won’t get all the colors on there because of the limitations of dyeing the banners. Borders can be used aesthetically as your first OR last color on your flag of choice! It’s up to you!. This is essential for getting all your stripes! Sometimes depending on the effect you want you can use a colored banner as your base instead of a white one, which will save you the trouble of dying it over. You can only use up to 6 colors per banner. #Rainbow flag on minecraft loom full#
