When Sukkot rolls around each fall, I always feel a deep sense of both homecoming and journey. This is the time when we remember how God sheltered His people in the wilderness, and also rejoice in the harvest He still provides today. Our homes and our hearts become little “booths” of thanksgiving.

One of my favorite ways to mark the season is with crafts that bring the story right into our hands. This year, I designed a Sukkot flag to hang in the sukkah, wave during celebration, or simply brighten up a window or wall.

The Symbols on the Flag

Every piece of the flag has meaning rooted in Scripture and tradition:

Shofar – The ram’s horn that calls us together, signals worship, and reminds us of God’s voice.
Pomegranate – Full of seeds, a picture of abundance and fruitfulness.
Etrog (citron) – One of the four species Scripture tells us to rejoice with, beautiful in form and fragrant in hand.
Branches/Leaves – Reminding us of the lulav we wave before the Lord, a sign of joy in His presence.

Together, these shapes proclaim Sukkot’s message: God gathers us, provides for us, and invites us to rejoice before Him.

How to Make Your Own Sukkot Flag

There are several ways to turn the template into a finished flag, depending on what supplies you have and how crafty you’re feeling:

Felt Flag

Print and cut out the templates.
Trace each piece onto felt and cut carefully.
Arrange and glue (or stitch) them onto a larger piece of felt or fabric.
Add a dowel or stick to the top and tie with string for hanging.

Paper Flag

Print the templates directly on cardstock or trace them onto construction paper.
Color or paint the shapes, cut them out, and glue onto a flag-shaped background.
Tape to a skewer, dowel, or straw, and you’ve got a simple waving flag.

Draw & Color Flag

Use the templates as guides for hand drawing.
Let children (or adults!) color their own versions to decorate the sukkah walls or windows.

Short on Time?

If you love the design but don’t have the time (or patience) for a craft project this year, I’ve got you covered. The finished Sukkot flag is available in the Farm & Faith Store—ready to use and perfect for adding a festive touch to your celebration.

Celebrate with Joy

Sukkot is a feast of joy and thanksgiving. Whether you hang a homemade flag stitched from scraps of felt or a polished one from the shop, the heart behind it is the same: remembering God’s provision and rejoicing in His promises.

I’d love to see how your family decorates—share your flags with me, and let’s fill our sukkot with the sound of celebration.
