Pick a flag or fabric that has color and meaning.  Remember, it's labor intensive to make so pick something lasting. 

Be sure to use a high grade plywood like baltic birch with epoxy and vacuum for 24 hours.  

Plan your cuts to incorporate the 45 degree angle for French Cleats. 

Use epoxy under vacuum to ensure it will be perfectly flat.  

Lacquer spray many coats and level sanding in between to achieve a perfect flat surface.  

Sand to 3k grit then compound and polish from coarse, fine to ultra fine.  

Very carefully, assemble the layers with epoxy and screws.  Remember, any scratches will be almost impossible to remove once assembled.  

I prefer floating frames but it's dealers choice. 

Assemble it all together and add an anchoring french cleat to affix to the wall. 

I have built pistol, rifle and whiskey holders. Be sure to add suede leather to the back so it won't scratch the finish.  If you want octagons, the angle is 22.5 degree.
