American flags? But don't think they would move much while driving. Make your own. https://www.curbly.com/6857-real-oilclo ... to-make-it
That is just one way, there were many others shown if you do a search.

I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: WTB….small oilcloth flags on a stick
Googled search couldn't find oil cloth ones but som other durble materials
Some flags made from poly-cotton
Poly-cotton is a durable, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant blend of polyester and cotton fibers, commonly used for clothing, bedding, and, uniforms. Combining 65% polyester and 35% cotton (or 80/20 blends) offers a lightweight, easy-to-sew, and cost-effective fabric. It is less prone to shrinking and fading than 100% cotton.
Durability: The synthetic polyester fibers make the fabric stronger, lasting longer than pure cotton.
Wrinkle Resistance: It requires little to no ironing and holds its shape well.
Comfort & Breathability: While not as breathable as 100% cotton, it is more comfortable and breathable than pure polyester.
Easy Care: The fabric is easy to wash, dries quickly, and is generally resistant to shrinking or fading.
Versatility: Ideal for a wide range of projects including shirts, dresses, scrubs, upholstery, and quilting.
These are made of nylon https://www.usflags.com/products/old-gl ... itm7fanJOw

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: WTB….small oilcloth flags on a stick
Flagworld in Australia has handwaver flags on wooden sticks for around US$ 5.00 These are made from knitted polyester. They have no edges requiring hems, which invariably let go, leading to fabric fraying quickly. I have flown a South Australian state flag on the radiator cap of my chocolate van for almost 15 years. The knitted fabric has shortened i/2" or so in this time, and the colours have faded a little, but it still flies just like it did when new. You are not likely to find anything else to last like this.

Re: WTB….small oilcloth flags on a stick
You can heat seal the edge of synthetic fabric so it doesn't fray by holding it taught and quickly running the edge along a candle flame. I watched my sister do this years ago when she was making a down vest with a nylon fabric shell.

On Youtube, there are also how-to videos on how to heat seal the edges of synthetic fabric using a soldering iron.

If you buy a Flagworld handwaver, all the sealed edges will be taken care of for you. Buy 4 0r 5 t0 amortise the postage costs.
