This windsock is perfect for any patriotic holiday or event, from Labor Day to the 4th of July. Made from an old oatmeal carton, the project is simple and can be done with basic materials around the home; basically construction paper and glue, as well as some paper or fabric strips for the streamers.

While this example is a patriotic windsock for the United States, the project can be adapted for any nationality by simply changing the colors and symbols. However, it works best with flags that sport stipes of some kind. In addition to instructions and a large color photo, this downloadable also includes star patterns in various sizes.
