Sorry for the late reply!
The flags shown in this photo are all really easy to make, compared to flags with elaborate designs on them.
I simply got my base blue cloth (for Iceland), cut it to the proportionate rectangle, then cut the white and red cloths as well to appropriate proportions and sewed them onto the blue cloth. You can probably find the accurate proportions of the flags on wiki.
Use thicker cloth if you don't want light to pass through the flag in shots where the light source is right behind the flag.
If you're planning to make flags with elaborate designs like Prussia, use the silkscreen method. You can google it up
Other flags like Canada, America or UK should be found easily and can just be bought.
Alternatively, there are many shops online that sell flags from all sorts of countries and can be shipped anywhere ^^

"Velkomin til norðurs" - Icelandic
"Välkommen till norr" - Swedish
"Tervetuloa Pohjois" - Finnish (had to get this from my friend)
"Velkommen til nord" - Danish
