    I love fun projects I can make with my kids in the summer time. With the 4th of July just around the corner, this Patriotic Wind Chime craft fits the bill nicely. 

    Threading the pony beads is great hand-eye coordination practice for my soon-to-be kindergarten girl.  And she loved jazzing this up with some sparkly embellishments. That girl is all about the bling, let me tell you. 

    This is a quick and easy craft that you can do with just a few simple materials.  This isn't 100% waterproof, so take care with heavy rains. We have ours hung under a covered porch.  I hope you enjoy this fun project!

    Patriotic Wind Chime Craft

    Here's how to make this fun Patriotic Wind Chime craft with your kids:

    Materials

    • 1 tin can
    • Blue craft foam
    • Tacky Glue (or hot glue gun)
    • Yarn
    • Pony beads
    • Ribbon
    • Scissors
    • other decorations and embellishments if desired
    DIY Patriotic Wind Chime

    Instructions

    1. The tin can should be open on one end and closed on the other. We lined the rim with hot glue and let it dry to ensure there were no sharp edges.
    2. Glue blue craft foam around the can (or you can paint it!) Allow to dry.
    3. Decorate as desired with stars, stripes and sparkles. Set the can aside and let it dry while you work on the wind chime strands.
    4. Cut yarn and ribbon in various lengths of at least 12" long. Thread pony beads in various patterns along the strands. Tie pony beads and knots at the end and along the strands to hold the other beads in place.
    5. Use a can open or knife (adults only) to make a hole in the top of the can.
    6. Pull the strands through the hole and tie together in a knot. Place a bead of glue around the knot to cover sharp edges and hold the knot in place.

    Hang your wind chime and listen to the sounds it makes!
