Make this wind sock using a tin can and crepe paper.
Materials Needed:
With an adults help, use a hammer and nail to punch 2 holes directly across from each other in the sides of the tin can (you will want to make them as close to the bottom edge as possible). This is where you will thread the string through to hang your wind sock.
Paint the tin can with any colors and designs you choose; let dry.
Cut 5-6 pieces of crepe paper so they are 24 inches long. (If you are using fabris, cut the pieces to be roughly 2" x 24".) Once your can is dry, use the tape to attach the crepe paper or fabric along the inside, top edge of the tin can; the pieces should be touching or even slighlty over-lapped.
Thread a piece of string (about 20 inches long) through the holes you punched and tie. Hang for all to enjoy!
