Luv Bug Windsock

Luv Bugs Windsock

Materials:


Cardboard tube
A piece of white fabric to cover the tube
Length of red, white and pink ribbon two and a half times as long as the tube
Red felt or Fun Foam hearts in different sizes
Red or pink pom poms
Pipe cleaners or 3mm chenille stems
White craft glue
Scissors
2 pieces of ribbon 8" long in red, white or pink
Hole punch
4 shank buttons

Instructions:

Place the fabric around the cardboard tube folding it and overlapping slightly. Glue in place. Fold the ends into the tube gluing them at the top and the bottom of the tube. At one end punch four holes equidistant around the tube. Push one end of the ribbon in the first hole and the other end in the hole opposite. Repeat with the second ribbon in the two remaining holes. Take the center of the two ribbons and tie an overhand knot leaving a small loop to hang your windsock by.

Glue the red, white and pink ribbons in the other end of the tube to form the streamers. Alternate the colors around the tube. You may use ribbon all the same width or varied widths. You may also use all one color or a combination of the three colors.

To form the Luv Bugs decorating the tube portion of the windsock use the smaller hearts in a pair as the wings with pom pom bodies glued between the two hearts. A larger heart can be used as the wings with the pom poms glued down the center forming the body of the critter. Pieces of pipe cleaner can be used as the antennae. You may also randomly glue heart sequins on the tube portion of your windsock.

These can be hung from a ceiling fan chain indoors or on the porch.
