A Rainy Day Craft.... I wanted to share a craft that I taught to a group of little kids last week.
Portland has been having an incredibly rainy spring/summer and I though we would just go ahead and celebrate it with a rainy craft. I have seen a bazillion crafts that can be made from paper plates and I have promised myself(for the sake of not being too predictable) not to use them every week, but then I came up with this little umbrella idea and just had to try it out.

The Hoverfly and Hurricane paper helicopters I made previously each performed excellently and were very well received by the Instructables community. To give aviators who liked those birds more amusement, I decided to make another. The Tornado is a paper helicopter with five rotors, designed as the "middle size" chopper--smaller than the Hurricane, larger than the Hoverfly.
Like the Hurricane, the Tornado is among a small group of paper aircraft that qualify as "paper helicopters" not of the traditional two blade design. Because of the Hurricane's great performance and original design, it was the conceptual basis for this project's layout. Like the previous helicopters, the Tornado is designed for many uses, including as a research testbed for use in classrooms. How to Make a Woven Wrap Hammock. I’ve heard of people making hammocks or swings with their woven wraps in the babywearing communities online, but there doesn’t seem to be much “authority” about how to do it the right way.
I can’t find a tutorial for how to make a swing, but I’m planning on trying something out and posting if it works. (SOON. I’m getting “ingredients” for it today.) But for now, this is what we’ll be doing!
