Patriotic Windsock

 For This Project You'll Need:

tin cans (save from cooking, wash, remove label)

blue acrylic paint (I gave the kids a few options) and foam brushes

foam star stickers 

Perfect White Glitter Stars from Michaels

These are a fun red, white and blue option from Amason:

a drill

red and white ribbon

string (I used blue and white butchers twine)

hot glue gun/glue (or glue dots)

Step 1: To prepare for this craft, save cans, wash them and remove the labels.  Then drill two holes on the sides, near the top (the part that still has a lid).  Gather materials. You could also cut lengths of ribbon.

Step 2:  Let the kids choose a blue paint and paint their cans.

Step 3:  Add ribbon around the bottom with glue dots or a hot glue gun, alternating red and white.

Step 4:  Add star stickers on the can.

Step 5:  Add the twine through the two drilled holes and tie, which will be the hanger.

Then hang outside and enjoy!
