Scotland hand flag

The Scottish hand flag is a small waving flag on a white stick, with a white diagonal cross over a blue field. That slanted white cross runs from corner to corner and therefore also stands out from a distance when you wave it. You can use the hand flag as Scottish decoration or as a national decoration at a themed party about Scotland.

Blue field, white cross and a stick: the hand flag in detail

• The field is completely blue, with two white bands that cross each other in the middle.
• The flag is attached to the short side to a narrow white stick, so you can hold it in your hand and wave it.
• The rectangular, horizontal shape follows the proportions of a regular national flag.
• The hand flag is from the brand Wicked Costumes and belongs in the store with the flags and the Scottish decorations.

The St. Andrew's cross on the Scottish flag

The white slanted cross on blue is called the St. Andrew's cross, after Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. According to tradition, he died on an X-shaped cross, and the flag bears exactly that shape. The cross also appears in the British flag, but there it lies under red crosses. With only white on blue you immediately recognize the Scottish flag, and that makes a waving flag like this clearly visible at a parade, a national party or a Scottish themed party. In between, you can put it in a glass or vase on the table, then it serves as decoration.

What face paint and jewelry match the blue and white of the hand flag?

Blue and white face paint match best: draw a white cross on a blue cheek with a thin brush, then you also wear the flag on your face. Glasses or a pair of bracelets in blue and white repeat the same colors without making your look busy. If you wear a Scottish plaid, let the flag provide the blue and keep the other accessories sober.
