Looking for a fun project to do this week?
How about you learn how to make a soda can wind spinner through this tutorial byDoug Demaranville?
We have tons of these in our back yard and I love staring at them especially when its windy.

Its so cool to see them spinning around in unison!
Watch the video below for full instructions.
Do not remove the tear strip.
Step 2:
Remove the pull tab, then cut the flange part to remove the lid.
Use your scissors to clean out the edges.
Step 3:
Cut it in the middle on 4 sides from the top to the base.
Once done, cut each again in half.
Be careful when doing this.
Repeat with the other strips until it looks like a sun.
Step 5:
Make a hole in the center of the bottom of the can.
Step 6:
Fold each of the strips about half an inch.
Once done, make another piece.
Step 7:
Connect two strips from each can.
They should hold each other onto the folded part.
Use pliers to fold the corner.
Repeat with other strips.
Step 8:
Get a piece of wire and twist one of the ends.
Insert the bead from the other end.
Once inserted, trim off excess wire then bend it over for the hook.
Now you’ve got the option to hang it.
