Tin Can Wind Chimes

 Things don't always work out. You can either chalk it up to experience or you can try again.

In this particular instance I'd seen colorfrul wind chimes made from tin cans and thought I'd try it.

Oftentimes my problem is that I can't decide on what I want to do, end up incorporating all features and then it turns out a tragic mess. 

I saw this.

             AND                         I saw this.         Debra Makol




*Coffee can, vegetable cans, Red Bull can. All      spray painted white 


 *Cans painted with acrylic paint in the colors        on the napkin. 


   *Napkin decoupaged onto one can.




I tried too many techniques. 
Decoupage, stencil, free hand, stones, glitter

The wire and chain (from a broken necklace) I used was difficult to shape. Then I tried to use string. 
A TACKY MESS!
I decided that this would be an experimental experience.   
I will try again. 

That's it ***
