Wind Chime for Kids to Make

 
 
Last year we made Yogurt Cup Wind Chimes.  The kids loved helping to make the wind chime and it is still out in the tree a year later!  We set out to make a new wind chime this year out of another recycled material.  Here is what we came up with! This wind chime that kids can make is fun and easy.  A great way to decorate the yard for spring or summer.

How to make a wind chime with kids:

I removed the label from the container and it sat in the garage almost a year, lol.  Finally, a few weeks ago the kids and I got a chance to work on this project.  I had my husband add holes to the now bottom of the container. He put 8 total around the edge.  He added 2 close together on the now top also.

The kids added foam stickers to the container and I threaded the ribbon at the bottom and tied knots to hold it on.  The kids could have done this but since we were pushed for time I did the ribbons myself.  It seemed unfinished so I added a few pony beads to the end. More craftprojectideas.com  goodies to the rescue!

Last but not least, I added some string up top into the 2 holes.  Now I could hang it up for us to enjoy.  The kids and I were thrilled with how it turned out.  We look forward to making a new one when this one gets worn. But for now the bright colors of this recycled container, kid made wind chime, is being enjoyed.
