How to Make a Microphone Flag
- 1). Cut a piece of gatorboard with a hobby knife, the height and three times the desired width of the microphone flag.
- 2). Lay the cut piece of gatorboard on your work surface face-side down.
- 3). Score the back of the gatorboard at the ends of each panel section with the hobby knife.
- 4). Widen each side of the scores at a 15-degree angle with the hobby knife, creating a V-shaped groove.
- 5). Fold the gatorboard at the grooved points to form a triangle.
- 6). Glue the ends of the gatorboard together with a hot glue gun.
- 7). Trace the outline of the gatorboard triangle onto another piece of gatorboard.
- 8). Cut out this triangle tracing and scrape away the foam from the paper front approximately the depth of the gatorboard with the hobby knife.
- 9). Cut out a circle from the center of the triangle tracing with a hobby knife large enough for the microphone handle to fit inside.

Trace the interior triangle shape of the microphone flag onto a piece of polyurethane foam approximately the same height as the microphone flag. - 11
Cut the triangle shape from the foam with a hobby knife. - 12
Insert the foam into the microphone flag and lay the triangular piece with the cut circle on top of the flag. - 13
Mark the inner outline of the circle onto the foam and mark the center of the circle with an X. - 14
Cut the lines of the X through the piece of foam. - 15
Glue the triangle piece with the cut circle onto the top of the microphone flag with hot glue.
