The tradition of making flags ( '' drapo servis '' ) to decorate Vodou places of worship is a distinctive form of Haitian Vodou art . Flags most often commemorate specific spirits or saints , but the 2010 earthquake has become a common subject of art flags . The use of sequins in these flags became prevalent in the 1940s , and many of today 's flags cover the entire flag in colored sequins and beads . These flags are traded as art by dealers around the world
