In this DIY activity, learn how to make your very own wind chime with simple materials! Hang it up where there is a breeze and listen to the melody it makes.
Things you will need:
-Thin strip of cardboard
-Any pointed object (to make holes)
-Glass or metal bangles (of same or different colours)
-String
-Stapler
Step 1:
On the thin strip of cardboard (about 30cm long), make 8 holes along the centre.
Step 2:
Bring the edges together to form a ring and staple them together.
Step 3:
Cut several pieces of string about 12cm in length. Tie one end to a bangle.
Step 4:
Similarly, by tying each end to a bangle as shown, barring the first piece of string, make four bangle loops.
Step 5:
Tie the loose end of each loop to a hole in the cardboard ring, leaving a gap of one hole between each.
Step 6:
Tie four pieces of string to the four holes between the loops. Hold the strings together to suspend your wind chime by the window, terrace or balcony and hear it ‘chime’!
Note: You can also use unused keys, marbles, and sea shells instead of bangles.
