Start by putting tape around the top rim of the cans to prevent any accidental cuts.

Lay down newspaper or a drop cloth and paint the cans with various colors and allow the paint to fully dry.

Using a nail and a hammer turn the bottom of the can over and punch a small hole or use a drill.

Pull the twine or rope starting at the top of the can and tie a knot on the inside to secure. Do this to each individual can.

Tie the cans in various links to a sturdy branch and wrap another piece of the twine around the branch to use as a hanger. Hang on a hook or outdoor tree branch.
