I am always so excited when I create a new project!
I see it in my head and I quickly transform it into reality!
Like this beautiful Wind chime!!
Then I get even more excited knowing that I’m going to show it to y’all!
Here’s the Supplies you will need :
• 3 different size cans
• prints you want to use . I used Prints from Decoupage Central
• wire
• Wooden beads
• scissors
• Hot Glue
• Minwax satin sealer
• textured tile or textured wallpaper if you choose to add this texture to your can
• material or ribbon for bow
• white or ivory paint you can use whatever brand you have on hand.
•Elmer’s clear glue
• Dixie Bell wax Brown
I went ahead and made a hole on the top of each can for the wire to run through it .
I decided to add this textured tin Faux tile on one of my cans . You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to .
I picked up these tiles awhile back from Family Dollar.
I just look the look it creates .
It changes the whole look of the can !
I then painted all three cans in this Ivory color . Just so when I added the prints they would show up nicely.
I only applied one coat of paint on each one including the textured tile can.
I let them dry all the way .
I picked out the prints I wanted to use.
These are all from Decoupage Central!
They always have such a wonderful selection!
I tore all the edge and was ready to glue them on my cans!
I love this dragonfly!
I glued everything with Elmer’s glue!
This butterfly was fun to I had to use her as well!
They all came out so pretty!
I of course had to grunge them up !
I used my favorite Dixie Belle Wax in Brown!
This step is your choice!
I ran my wire through each can .
I added the wooden beads in between each one .
This is a tricky part just play with it a little until they are spaced how you want them .
I twisted the wire around each bead to keep them in place .
Here it is I love the grunginess and the spacing of each can !
I took my material and made my bow . You can use ribbon if you want to instead .
I just looped my material back and forth to create the bow .
I also used this fun crackle rubber stamp to add a little more detail to the cans .
When everything was dry I gave each can a light coat of my favorite sealer Minwax satin !
Here it is so beautiful!
I love it !
I absolutely love how this Wind chime made with recycled cans came out !
It amazes me how 3 simple plan ole cans can come to life and be transformed into this beautiful Wind chime !
These are perfect to hang anywhere it will be protected from the weather since you are using paper prints .
Even though I sealed it you still need to keep it in a covered area like your porch .
This is so easy and budget friendly!
I hope you give this a try.
I know you will love this project as much as I do!
