Hello,
I also use thin copper wire for the flag ropes. 3-4 Wires twisted together are sufficient. At the ends I put a small drop of glue as a tassel. After drying, I tie the ropes to the flag and then paint them.
See my "Prussian Inf Shoulder Arms"-Contribution from 2019 as exampel. But I used only two wires for the prussian flag you can see there..
