CraftingTuesday 5

This week they made wind socks. I had the idea in my head for them to do windsocks for the 4th of July. I thought I would just use ribbon or strips of red, white, and blue fabric. But when I went looking for the fabric I found some that was supposed to be used to make small flags and it was a nylon type fabric. I thought well it will last longer than cotton fabric like I was going to buy and would be cute to actually be flags. I cut the pieces apart for them Banna and I glued a casing at the top of each strip. I cut pieces of wire to length and bent one end of it. They threaded the pieces on and we connected the ends of the wire and formed a circle. Then I put fishing line on them to hang them up. As you can see from the pictures Jake and Banna hung theirs up themselves.

With the finished projects. With Banna being silly.

Jake hanging his. He told me I want it high up in that tree. So I told him that was fine if he could hang it himself. So like the monkey he is, he went up the tree and hung it.

Then of course Banna had to hang hers all by herself.
