Coating with 3 layers of clear sealer so they wouldn't rust.

Nice job. A sand bag and a Louisville slugger might help you to dome the bottoms of your cans. 😊😊😊

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

I like that idea!

[@stephaniemeadows6796]

Pure genius

[@stephaniemeadows6796]

Now I gotta go dig last night's cans outta the trash lol thank you for sharing I been trying to think of how to make these . Tried temptation cat treat containers looks more like the square bells on a cow neck but still going to use them also took silver simmer eyeshadow and mixed with the paint to make it shinny since I didn't have silver made q light grey and eyeshadow lol

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

This idea is meant to be economical. Use what you got on hand …doesn’t have to be fancy to make some thing pretty .😊

[@guadaluperivadeneyra1715]

EXCELENTE TRABAJO!!! MUCHAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR TU CREATIVIDAD!!!

[@thevintage2522]

Awesome vedio.thanks,blessings from Baton Rouge

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

Y’all these look like a lot of work, but honestly it is not. I’m showing different items in the video… trying to figure out what works. I was learning as I was recording. Honestly, each one only takes about 3-4 minutes to get the dome shape. And a great way to relieve stress, get an arm exercise, save money and just have fun! ❤️

[@rachellarsen939]

Love them 💕

[@wotintheworld]

Wow when you shake it it sounds like a human saying "ding ding ding!"

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

Lol

[@vilmabatres2872]

So cute!

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

Thank you! You can see how they turned out after painting in my Facebook live replay. They look great!

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

Also posted the video on painting on KZbin

[@JCwax-bri]

I'm eager to see the painting process. I have copied your process up to this point- don't leave me hanging? :)

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

I painted them!! Check out my live replay “Painting DIY tin cowbell” on my Facebook page.

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

I posted the video painting them to KZbin also.

[@thevintage2522]

I'm thinking maybe put your holes in first or turn can up side down,but your way works to 😊

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

Absolutely great tip!! When I demonstrated how I painted them on my Facebook LIVE, that is what I suggested to viewers.

[@jasminer8507]

I love how you did the process. Please show us how you painted them. Thanks

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

[@dandmpug]

Love this project. Where did you get the thin metal you used for the loops?

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

@@dandmpug it’s from Lowe’s. Thin sheet metal. I have used aluminum from baking pans. I also I have even used the can lid as well, but be careful very sharp!

Hello I need a bell

[@lechatbotte.]

I wonder if warming the can a bit to soften it would make the process easier. You’d need gloves. I think this is so clever

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

I’m thinking heating would help too. I’ll have to try that

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

I painted them!! Check out my live replay “Painting DIY tin cowbell” on my Facebook page. I show you how to paint one and then show you how all of them turned out. They look great!! facebook.com/craftingontheridge/ I’ve downloaded the 1hour live video from Facebook and working on an shorter edited version for KZbin.

[@mariantwohig5156]

You are not in camera?

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

😊 I wanted this video to be up close on the project so y’all could see the process better.

[@laurabarber6697]

FYI- Lots of us don't want to go to Facebook to see how to paint them.

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

I try to post to different social medias, but each have a different criteria on uploading videos. I’m trying to download the live video from Facebook so I can edit it for uploading to KZbin.

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

LADY JUST BUY YOUR DAMMM X-MASS 🔔😂🤣🙄

[@craftingontheridgebyrebeka6401]

😂😂😂 For all the work…yes one could agree. I can afford to buy them, but some people can not or just prefer to craft. My customer is on a budget so I made these for her. This is an example of a lower costed version and a way to recycle. And… buying them would defeat the whole purpose of CRAFTING

[@pennycox1432]

It's fun being creative and making them.🤗

[@pennycox1432]

Btw I found first video . I'm Making mine with soup cans and spackle around cans for dimension.

[@cab102361]

There are those of us who love making things. Buying things is ok but making something takes time and effort. I’d way rather have a beautifully hand made item than a mass made item from China.

[@kfitz192]

I love giving handmade gifts that I've either purchased or made. Gifts like that offer personality, individuality, and something authentic in a way that that mass-produced gifts can't.

this is crap
