July 4th DIY WindStock
4:20 PM
This was such an easy craft and the perfect activity to get me back in the to craft room after a lull. No sewing and just a few items necessary.
Items Necessary:
- Embroidery hoop or other hoop. (Get creative, you could make your own from heavy duty card board or a plastic carton. Think out of the box )
- Ribbons in red, white, and blue. ( I had most of mine already and bought the lace here on amazon and the red ric rac here. )
- Twine.
HERES HOW TO MAKE IT
- Tie a tight knot around the hoop, pull across the diameter using a generous amount of twine to the other side. Tie on other end. Cut. Now tie again crossing the diameter. You will then have a VERY loose cross. You want it to be loose for the next step.
- With extra twine, both sides together and tie a loop at the top.
- Cut the ribbons long enough to be doubled and to hang the length you want
- Loop the ribbons in the middle(ish) and pull the ribbon through the loop. I didn't make the ends hang the same on the bottom, that's why i said "ish"
- Disperse the ribbons according to the color patterns you desire.
- I used a 3M hook for outdoor wreaths to hang the completed windstock on the corner roof.
