July 4th Wind Chime

Before we left on our Florida vacation to visit the family, I wanted to get some July 4th decorating done since we will get back just a few days before the holiday.  Last year we had fun making these cool Rocket Wind catchers, so this year I thought it would be cool to make a wind chime to go with them.

I found the glitter star at the craft store when I was out and thought it would be a perfect finishing touch to the wind chime.  However if  you can't find them you could use any patriotic themed item to finish it off.

Depending on how old your child is you may need to assist them in painting the pot.  I drew the line for the red section and then my daughter was able to paint it the rest of the way.  And if you don't have a large button you could use a washer, the key is to have something strong enough to hold the pot up and large enough to not fit through the hole in the pot. 

Supplies
Small Terracotta pot
Outdoor Craft Paint (red, white, and blue)
Paint Brush
Hemp String (or other strong string)
Large Button
Jiggle Bell
Cow Bell
Glitter Star Ornament
Glue Gun

Directions

 Paint your pot with red, white, and blue stripes

Tie your button to the sting leaving a loop at the end to hang your wind chime

 Tie your jingle bell, cow bell, and glitter star to your hemp string.

 Use your glue gun to glue your button to the inside top of your pot.

Now just go hang your Patriotic Wind Chime
