We had so much fun making this Tin Can Wind Chime Craft. If you are looking for summer craft Tin Can Wind Chimes are a great way to recycle your tin cans and beat the summer boredom blues. Trust me everyone will enjoy making this fun craft and it is a great way to recycle and upcycle too.

This is an affordable summer project! I picked up my paint, paintbrushes and embroidery hoop at my local Michael's - using a 40% off coupon of course 🙂 I love being able to recycle the tin cans.
Disclosure: Michael's provided a gift card for me to purchase supplies however all opinions are 100% my own.
