Fourth of July Party Decor: DIY Windsocks

Learn how to make these firecracker windsocks for your July 4th celebration.

To make this craft, you will need: nylon parachute fabric (1/4 yard each color)/ assorted ribbons / polyester roping #2 / measuring tape / sewing machine / sewing scissors / fabric glue / and felt stars.

First cut a rectangle from the nylon fabric approximately 15" x 10." This will become the windsock body. Next cut two pieces of fabric into 7.5" x 10" squares. This will become the fringe that attaches to the bottom of the windsock body.

You can cut the fringe squares in half (as pictured) or you can leave them whole. Working across the squares, fringe 1" wide strips to within 3" of the top as shown above.
