Hung from a tree or a wrought iron plant hanger, this fairly simple project will make a charmingly mod windsock garden lantern. During the day, it will add interest & texture. At night, it gives off a soft, ambient light that glows like a firefly - a nice touch for a summer evening lazing outside.
Notes:
+ "Windsock" is used to refer to the shape & basic idea, not the application. I wouldn't personally leave it outside blowing in the wind.
+ All steps are explained but not all steps are shown. Please read the instructions carefully so you don't miss something. It looks long, but it's just like making a simple back-tab-top curtain + a drawstring bag in one.
+ I used a 3/8" seam allowance, except where noted.
+ The design shows 8 tabs, but there are really only 4 tabs! I didn't realize my misengineering ways until I was ready to thread the lights...so disregard those extra 4 if you see them!!!
