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.
Wind Chime for Kids to Make
This post contains affiliate links for your convenience.
Supplies/What we used:
*Foam stickers from craftprojectideas.com of course! Thanks for the free goodie box.
*ribbon – like this American Crafts 24 Extreme Value Neon Ribbon
*a recycled boogie wipes container – Boogie Wipes Canister – Fresh Scent – 90 ct
or Clorox container – like these Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Value Pack, Fresh Scent and Citrus Blend, 225 Count

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.
