I use carpet tack strips (like tacks driven through a wooden yardstick so the sharp points stick out of one side) for hanging rugs and tapestries on the wall. Nail or screw the strips to the wall with the sharp ends tilted up. Then carefully align the upper edge of the flag (or whatever) so the tacks poke through the material. It's as strong as nailing a rug to the wall and easy to remove or realign the run. You can get the strips from any carpet store or service that does carpet installations.
