Flag day is coming up this June 14th! Don’t miss out on our craft of the week – start collecting your supplies now! To celebrate Flag Day we created our very own windcatcher! Hang these babies outside and watch ‘em dance!

You will need:

• Red, White or Blue Construction Paper
• Tape
• Scissors
• Adhesive foam stars
• Red, White and Blue Ribbon
• Hole Punch

To Begin:

1. First, take your sheet of colored construction paper long ways and trim a strip of paper about 2 inches from the top. Set this strip aside.
2. As shown in the video, take the larger piece of construction paper and roll it to make a cylinder – both ends should be touching. Secure with a piece of tape.
3. Whip out the 2-inch strip you cut earlier and add a piece of tape to either end. Attach one side to the top of your cylinder and the other end directly across from it – this should form a handle.
4. Next, using your hole punch, punch holes along the bottom about 2 inches apart from each other.
5. Using your scissors and a ruler, measure and cut your red, white and blue ribbon into 12-inch strips. You want to have roughly the same amount, but enough to fit into the holes you just punched.
6. Thread the ribbon through a hole, tie a knot in the middle and let the tails hang.
7. Repeat step 6 while alternating ribbon colors to fill all of the holes punched.
8. Finally, add adhesive foam stars, glitter or even sequins to decorate your wind catcher.
9. Hang and enjoy!
