Get into the Little Mermaid spirit this month by trying your hand at these crafty and cute flying fish! These playful windsocks are made out of colorful lightweight nylon and any color of ribbon you have on hand. It�s the perfect way to spend a summer afternoon with the kids!

Step 1: Fold a 2-foot square of lightweight nylon in half horizontally. Position the fold on the bottom. With a pencil, draw an outline of a fish, letting the fold serve as its belly and making a 5 1/2-inch-wide mouth. Cut the doubled material along the drawn line with a pair of scissors, and use fabric glue to hold the seam closed along the fish's back.

Step 2: Twist together a couple of pipe cleaner ends to form a ring that's 10 inches around. Slip the ring around the fish's mouth. Fold the edge of the nylon over the ring and glue it down.

Step 3: Glue six 2-foot lengths of ribbon to the fish's tail.

Step 4: Invert the wind sock so that the seams are inside. Then paint on scales and eyes with acrylic paints.

Step 5: To ready the carp to fly, use a slipknot to tie the middle of a 2-foot piece of string to the notch on the top of a wooden dowel. Snip a small hole into each side of the mouth, push a string end through each, and knot.
