Hanging Fabric Windsock |
| About Windsocks
- |
Hanging windsocks
are an awesome project to make. It is a great project for beginners.
One can add different color ribbons to brighten up the windsock.
Fabric windsocks can be hung inside by a window, or under a porch or
protected area from direct sunlight or rain. If they are hung directly
outside there is a possibility the sunlight or rain will damage your
windsock even if a protective spray has been put on. |
| Best type of
Fabric to use- |
Light, medium, or
heavy weight cotton will work best for making hanging windsocks. Also, a
light weight vinyl type of fabric will work well. |
| Easy type
Pattern - |
The photo above is
the easiest windsock one could make and is only 1 pattern piece. |
| Difficult type
Pattern - |
Windsocks can be
made in animal or object shape. These type of patterns are much more
difficult than the windsock shown above. |
| Pattern Pieces -
|
Pattern pieces can range from
one, as shown in the windsock above, and up to 25 pieces for a more
advanced project. |
| Cost & Fabric usage - |
Small windsocks do not require
much fabric at all. However, when adding the ribbon, beads,
feathers, and what ever else you decide to put on your windsock the cost
adds up. The windsock above requires about 1/4 of a yard. |
