Indoor Ceremonial Set
Assembly Instructions
Your flag set should arrive in two separate packages, which will include (see Flag set components chart below) a finial (1) (an eagle
for US flags, a cross for Christian flags, a spear for state or world flags); a brass eye screw (2); one brass screw (3); a flag (5) with pole sleeve (6) and leather or velcro tab (4); a yellow
cord & tassel (7); two flagpole
sections with brass fittings (8 & 9); and a stand
(10). (Note: previous underlined links are to show examples only, as the set you choose may come with different components.)
Before beginning assembly, you may wish to press the flag with a warm iron to remove creases. If you want to enhance the way your flag drapes on the pole, see the Add life to your flag! section below.

A. Attaching the Flag:
- Find the open pocket or sleeve (6) at the back edge of the flag (5).
- Slide the flag sleeve (6) up the top flagpole section (8), top edge first, until the top of the flag reaches the brass screw (3).
- Find the leather or velcro tab (4) inside the top of the flag sleeve (6) and slip it onto the head of the brass screw (3) to hold the flag in place.

B. Attaching the finial:
- Slide the finial (1) over the top of the pole (8).
- Screw brass eye screw (2) through the pre-drilled hole in the finial (1) and into the pole (8) to secure.

C. Add the cord and tassel (7):
- Fold the
cord in half and hold the tassels together in one hand.
- Adjust the
cord so one tassel is higher than the other about 3" and
the other end forms a loop.
- Push the
cord loop through the eye screw at the top of the pole. You will
have to "work" the loop though the eye screw.
- Once the
loop is through the eye screw, push both tassels through the loop
and pull tight
to form a slip knot (see illustration, right).
- About 1/3
further down the cord, make a new loop by wrapping both pieces
of cord around three fingers.
- With the
other hand, pull the two strands of cord through the loop you
made around your fingers, just enough to form a new loop (approximately one inch).
- Pull the
cord strands through your new loop to form yet another loop about the same size. Continue this step until you have connected 4 loops.
- On the 4th
loop, pull the tassels all the way through and tighten slightly
to form a loose knot.
- Adjust and
tighten the links to be uniform in size (see illustration, left).

D. Attaching to base:
- Screw bottom pole (9) to top pole (8).
- Place completed assembly in stand.
- There may be an adapter inside the stand for smaller size poles. Remove
if necessary.
