Necktie Windsock
Here is what you need: Here is what you do: 1. Cut the ten neckties in half across the center of each tie. You will be using the thinner half of each tie for this project. 2. Fold 4 inches of construction paper over lengthwise to make a strip. Trim off the extra paper along the bottom of the strip. 3. Open the folded strip and rub glue all over the inside of the paper. Arrange the cut ends of the ten neckties facedown and side by side along the edge of the folded paper. You will not have enough ties to go to the end of the strip. Fold the top of the gluey paper over the tie ends to hold them in place. 4. Carefully wrap the strip of paper around itself until you have a continuous circle of ties. Staple the strip to hold it in place. Let the glue dry. 5. Cut pieces of trim and rickrack to fit around the paper ring. Use glue to hold them in place. 6. Cut three 24-inch pieces of yarn to use for hangers. String the yarn pieces under the paper ring in three different places, then tie the ends together at the top. Hang your windsock outdoors for the wind to play with, but don't let it get wet! |
