Hello,

I want to make a large Christmas flag to hang out in front of the house. The flag will be made with two layers of fabric, as I want to sandwich a set of string lights in between the two layers. There will be a Christmas tree on both sides of the flag and I want the lights to poke through. The problem is, I am not sure how to make the holes. I don't want to simply pierce the fabric, as it ravels easily. I thought of grommets, but I can't think of anything that will secure the lights so that they won't fall back inside the flag when a wind comes up. I suppose I could tack them down with a thread and needle, but I'd like to make them easily removable for storage.

Any suggestions?
