ISN’T THIS JACK-O-LANTERN WINDSOCK CUTE? HERE ARE THE MATERIALS WE USED TO MAKE IT:
The first thing you are going to do is cut 32 strains of yarn that are 42 inches. Then, fold the yarn in half and place over the styrofoam ball so that the half way point is on the top of the ball.
After that move the yarn evenly around the ball. Cut an 8 inch strand of yarn and tie at the bottom of the ball. Next, tie a knot nice and tight as shown in the photo below.
It is now time to turn your pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern by giving it a face. Cut out eyes, nose, and mouth out of black felt for your jack-o-lantern face. Then, hot glue or fabric glue face pieces in place.
For the handle of your windsock attach a 12 inch piece of yarn through the eye of a needle and place it through the top of the ball through some layers of yarn. Tie a knot at the end.
Your jack-o-lantern windsock is now ready to be hung up for some haunted Halloween fun!
