Stick the pencil in the middle. Cut one inch on each side of the straw then cut a little slot on the 2 ends. Draw a arrowhead on the plate and a rectangle with your marker. Cut them out and put them in the slots. Put the thumbtack in the middle then stick it in the pencil's eraser.

Aligning It

Get your compass or phone with a compass app and use it to align your wind vane so North goes to North, South goes to South, West goes to West, and East goes to East.

Testing (optional)
