- 1. FALL WIND CHIMES VIRTUAL PROGRAM MAKE-IT, TAKE-IT, SHARE-ITYour kit should contain the following: • White and orange paint • Stick • Black and orange beads • One brass bell • Two silver bells • 4 jute strings (one longer to hang chime • One sponge brush • One black marker • Nine egg carton cups
- 2. Instructions • This can get messy. I suggest wearing clothes you don't mind getting paint on. • Put something down to paint on. I used a trash bag • Start painting your egg cups. There will be three cups on each string. I chose to alternate colors between white and orange • My first set of egg cups I painted white, orange white. • My second set I painted orange, white orange. • Finally, my third set I painted white orange white
- 3. This is what they looked like when I was done. You have to let them dry completely before you move onto the next step. I used a small fan to help with this.
- 4. • Once they are completely dry start drawing your faces. • You can draw them any way you like • These pictures are just examples
- 5. Once all your faces are drawn you are ready to string your bells and beads
- 6. • You should have 3 pieces of Jute string that are the same length. Use these to string your bells • You want to have as little excess string at the end as possible. • Trim whatever excess string you do have • You will now string your egg cups over the bells. Arranging them as you would like. The Brass bell should be in the middle to balance the wind chime
- 7. • String your first set of beads, you are provided with enough to do 10 each set, but you can use less. • The pictures on the right show you what it should look like. • After you are finished stringing each side, tie it to the branch. • When all three are finished, tied the longest jute string to your windchime to hang.
