Paperbag Windsock

 

 

Roberta here with another fun summertime craft!

 

What you need:

Paper bag, colored paper, craft glue, clear tape, streamers in different colors, scissors, string

 

What you do:

  1. Cut the bottom off your paper bag.
  2. Decorate your paper bag with colored paper.
  3. Tape streamers inside the opening at one end of your paper bag.
  4. Poke holes (carefully) on either side of the other end of your paper bag and tie string across (so you can hang up your windsock).
  5. Take your bag outside and hang it in a tree for a summertime decoration!

    I did something similar to this one time, but it blew away by a horrible thunderstorm when I put it outside. :( After that, I never saw it again. But this looks like a cool craft to do. ;) ~Chicago Made☀

            Ive never made one, but I think it looks like those things you use at golf to see the direction of the wind. My family doesnt really do golf, but sometimes Id play minigolf with my dad on vacations! :) I love minigolf! ~KK♥

            You can use laminated paper instead of a bag and it’ll be waterproof

      • Chicago Made says:

        Yeah, I guess it shouldn’t put it outside, unless you want it to blow off. Mine did, and fro some reason, I miss it…a lot. Weird. :lol: ~Chicago Made☀
