Kathy, Checking to see if you got your package. I mailed it June 14th. I have tracking to make sure it got there. The mail has been so crazy this past year. My post office says its still slower than normal.

I would love to see a photo of everyone's windsock. If you know yours has been received but the recipient is unable to post a photo, please post what you have sent for all to enjoy.

This is the one I made for Vicki. I am proud of it since
This was my first one, but I have learned some ideas for next time.
I should have painted the can white before I decoupaged the
napkin and the colors would have popped more. Also next time I will make the streamers longer.

I absolutely love it. Couldn't get my picture to load. I hung it right away in my living room so I can enjoy it all the time. Thank you so much. Vicki

Have a beautiful Day, Vicki

Wanda I love it!! I love decoupage!! I forgot to paint mine white too and I had a tiny rust spot bleed thru. Overall I thought it turned out good.

I usually take pictures of my crafts to use as a guide if I do it again. I forgot this time.

Oh my goodness, these are all beautiful! Yall are some crafty ladies! Ida sent me the most beautiful Windsock, I am still trying to figure out how to post a picture here!
Beth, your windsock has been delayed but will be on the way soon, that's what I get for thinking my husband had already mailed it... never again!

So glad I found you all! Can't wait for the next crafty adventure!

Hi Ida,

I have not forgotten you. The windsock is created. I will get it boxed up and sent out this weekend.

Thanks

Your wind socks are very fun to look at.
I have a question....How are y'all getting your streamers to stay in the can?
I've forgotten what. . . I did last year...but I know I struggled.

Love it Ida!! Marilyn I used hot glue also! I think Vicki tied hers to the
Strings that hang it up top because she cut out both ends. She also
Used a “church key” to punch holes on the sides to tie ribbons. I learned
a lot from her design! Thanks again Vicki!!

Hi Marilyn!
I sewed my streamers along the bottom edge of the fabric before attaching it to the can. It was a little tricky to keep untangled, but I was pleased with how it turned out!

Your bee windsock is so cute, Ida. Are those bee lights on the top? They look like they are lit up.
