Plastic Bottle Rag Windsock

A plastic bottle windsock seems perfect right about now blowing in the fall breeze! This project didn't come out as beautifully as I'd hoped, and I almost didn't share it with you, but then I figured you could probably figure out how to make my rag windsocks a touch more lovely. In any case, it's fun idea and a great way to dress up an outdoor area with something that won't get ruined if it rains.

You'll Need:

• plastic soda bottles
• a hole punch
• rags
• fishing line

How To:

Cut the tops and bottoms off a plastic bottle, according to the diagram here. Cut a slice of the middle section, about 2 inches high. With a metal hole punch, punch holes around the middle of the bottle. Wrip rags (like old sheets) into 1 inch strips and tie the strips onto the bottles by inserting a loop into a hole and pulling the ends through the loop. Hang with fish line and enjoy!

I think my version has too many rag streamers, use the rags more sparingly for more beautiful results. And let me know how it goes, I'd love to see your version!
