Hello Buddies,
Once again I am back with a wonderful recycle craft 🙂 and I love it. Its so simple all of you will be tempted to try it. Almost all those things required will be lying around at your house. This recycled material I am going to use is something all of us might have used and thrown out. Its a soda can. Haven’t we ? Yes I am going to show you how I made a beautiful and simple Butterfly wind chime using waste soda cans.
Supplies You will need :
- Soda Can
- Hanger
- Scissors
- Craft Knife
- White thread/Fish line
- Lead boxes (optional)
- Sound makers
My Method:
- Take a soda can and cut out the top and bottom parts
- You will get a plain aluminium sheet
- Draw the butterfly design directly on the aluminium sheet or another easy way
- Draw the butterfly design on a paper and cut it out .
- Stick the design on the aluminium sheet and cut out the butterflies.Cut seven butterflies
- Punch small holes on bottom and top sides of the butterflies and connect the lead boxes using a white thread on the bottom
- These lead boxes are for adding little weight to each thread
- Connect loose white threads on the top hole of the butterfly. Its for hanging the butterflies
- Now lets make the circular hanger for hanging the butterflies
- Take an old wire hanger and bend it in the shape as show in the picture
- Take another can and cut of the top and slice the side walls like petals of equal size
- Now folding part you have to fold each petal and insert it underneath the next petal
- Before starting the folds place the hanger and fold over it so that the flower shape holds around the hanger
- Once all the folds are completed the hanger will be ready
- Connect all the six butterflies at equal distance around the hanger
- I had the sound makers of my old wind mobile so I connected it in the middle and a butterfly under that as well.
- Pretty Recycled Butterfly mobile ready
- Find a perfect spot and hang it 🙂
