Materials:
Containers (we used tin cans)
Yarn or twine
Sturdy stick from outside
Beads
Jingle bells (optional)

1. Cut small holes in the center of your recycled containers, and thread a piece of yarn through each one. To make a hole in a tin can, punch a nail through the bottom carefully .

2. Tie beads or bells to the end of the yarn hanging inside the containers.

3. Tie the other end of the yarn to the stick, allowing the containers to hang freely.

If you want, you can decorate your containers with tape or paint, and then hang them outdoors or indoors by a window.
