Power Of Positivity Prayer Flags

"We recently moved into a new home and I wanted to make something special for it! I have always admired Tibetan Prayer Flags, so I decided to research more about them and see if I could make some of my own. The literal translation of the Tibetan word for the prayer flags is “windhorse”. The Tibetans believe that the wind carries prayers and positive energy from the flags. What a beautiful way to set good intentions for a new space! Tibetan prayer flags have 5 different colors. They are traditionally strung in groups of 10, with each of the 5 colors represented twice. Tibetans actually encourage and approve of people from all walks of life using flags of their own creation. I went traditional with the colors and created simple symbols that were meaningful to me using filet crochet."
