One of the very first swaps I participated in a year ago was a Tin Can Windsock. I enjoyed making one and loved what I received in return. There hasn't been another since then so let's do it --
You will use a tin can, decorate the outside, include wispy fabric, ribbon, lace, beads, or other to create the long strands that will blow in the wind. Add something to the top to facilitate hanging in a breezy and prominent location.
Enjoy your creativity ~~~

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

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!

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!!

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.

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!

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.
