Clay pot wind chimes
Clay Pot Wind Chimes
Materials:
• 6 2-1/2” clay pots
• Acrylic paint
• 12 round wooden beads, larger than the holes in bottom of the pots
• 10 yd. spool of plastic cord
• Paintbrush
• A favorite postcard or picture
Instructions:
• Have each member of the family paint a pot before assembling and let dry. Remember, one pot will be completely visible while the others will be partially obscured by the pot above it.
• Fold cord in half and tie a knot, leaving a loop to hang the wind chime. Thread the two ends through a bead.
• Thread the ends of the cord through the upside down clay pot you want on top.
• Thread another bead on, inside the pot. This will secure the pot. Make five knots below the bead. Beads and knots keep the pots apart.
• Repeat the above step until all pots are threaded together.
• Finish the cord by punching a hole in the postcard and threading the cord through.
