I thought I would create a new tin can wreath.
Last years tin can Christmas wreath was the most imperfect creation EVER....but you all still LOVED it.
This is the new 2015 design with a Beachy twist to it.

Recycling is so much FUN!
I had been saving cans for a while....you never know when you might need a can for creating. :) For this wreath you will need nine tin cans the same size..
Pre paint in colour of your choice. I have left mine as is, because I want the rusty patina that is starting to develop on them.
Thread rope through each hole and create a circle of tins.
Nails are secret weapon number 1...
Then put a drop of Superglue (secret weapon number 2) on each nail head so it drips through the hole.
To make it even stronger, I dolloped a little more 'Glues anything' glue where each can connected. (Weldbond is the best glue EVER and is secret weapon number 3!)
I used small pieces of driftwood and pumice from my 'beachy bits' collection.
These were glued on using the glue's anything glue, and once more left 24 hours to dry.
I decided it needed a focal point so added a dried starfish using a gluegun.
Finally the rope ends were looped and bound with thin wire to make the hanger.
Enjoyed the project?

You could use a reef ring & wire cans to it. Would be cute painted light blue with a little white then glue on a lot of shells. But is cute the way you did it.

Would be cute painted green with the pine cones from our area & acorns & green branches from pine trees with big red bow. Thanks for idea.
