Wind Chime for Kids to Make

Last summer 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 summer out of another recycled material.  Here is what we came up with! 

What we used:

Foam stickers from craftprojectideas.com of course!  Thanks for the free goodie boxes each month CPI.

Ribbon from target

and a recycled boogie wipes container

What we did:

I removed the label from the container and it sat in the garage almost all summer, lol.  Finally, a few weeks before school starts back and I rush to fit this summer project in with the boys.  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, again thanks craftprojectideas.com for the goodies!

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 hope you can enjoy this idea too.
