To create your own stars and stripes windsocks you will need the following items:
* Empty Can(s) – use a can opener to remove both ends, wash the inside of the can
* White Spray Paint
* Blue Spray Paint
* Star Stickers
* Red & White Ribbon – cut to preferred lengths
* String
* Drill
* Hot Glue Gun
Begin by drilling hanging holes into the sides towards the top of an empty can.
Next paint the outside of the can white. After the white paint dries, add star stickers to the can – do not press down too hard. If they do not seal perfectly and the paint bleeds a little, it will add to the look of the windsock.
Spray blue paint over the entire can including the stars; allow time to dry.
After the paint has completely dried, remove the star stickers. Now it is time to thread your hanging string through the holes you drilled at the top of the can.
Using hot glue, add the red and white ribbons inside the bottom of the can. Space them out so that they are not touching and allow time for the glue to dry.
Beautiful! It’s now time to hang your upcycled patriotic windsock with pride.
