 Project:
Wind ChimesThis project was done with various found objects and craft materials. The “chimes” can be suspended from a circular center or from a straight stick across the top. What’s most important is that the objects be able to catch the wind and bump into each other to create pleasing sounds. The weight of the objects and strength of the wind where the chimes will be displayed dictate what materials are most appropriate.  Materials: Pieces of metal of various sizes, shapes, weights and tones; sticks; thin wire; strong thread; and any other desired material for color or design. Procedure: Start with a strong top piece. Tie wire or string onto the various pieces that you want to hang. Tightly attach these pieces to the top by twisting the wire onto it. Decorate with material or paint as you wish. Finally, attach a piece of wire to the top to hang it on something in the wind. |
