Indoor Windsock

Supplies:
  Mailing tube or oatmeal box
  Lid for the aforementioned
  Paint
  Paintbrush
  Glue Dots or other adhesive
  Ribbon or rickrack - 6 or 8 pieces, about 3 feet long plus 1 piece about 18 inches long for the handle
  Embellishments

If you're using an oatmeal box or other similar container you're going to have to cut the bottom out or make slits into the bottom edge in order to insert and attach the ribbons.

Paint your mailing tube, oatmeal box, or other container of that shape.  Add stripes or dots or stencil on a design.  You could also glue colored tissue shapes to the outside of the cylinder once the paint is dry.

Attach the streamer to the lower edge of the cylinder, sticking them in place with Glue Dots or other adhesive.  Attach embellishments to the ends of the ribbon if you'd like.

Attach the final 18-inch piece of ribbon and attach it to the top as a handle.  Snap the lid onto the container, which will hold the handle in place.

This windsock brings a splash of color to the indoors.  It's easy to construct and fun to decorate.

Enjoy!
