This is my first instructable. It will probably work best if you tie it onto a fan WHILE IT'S OFF!!!!!! I got this idea from a kite book I had. Hope you like it.

This is the stuff you'll need.

- Hot glue gun and some hot glue sticks.
- A straw.
- A pair of scissors.
- A pice of paper.
- And some string.
