DIY Wind Chimes Using Clay Pots
Wind chimes fill the air with melody, but they can be pricey if you buy them. Make your own DIY wind chimes for a fraction of the price using simple (and affordable) clay pots!
What You Will Need
- Terra cotta pots in various sizes
- Wood beads
- Twine
- Small galvanized watering can
- Wire
- Clear faceted beads
- Jewelry pliers
- Wire cutters
- Scissors
Instructions
- Run some wire in through one hole and out through the opposite hole of the watering can spout. It may take a few tries to fish the wire through the holes. Then repeat for all sets of holes in your watering can.
- String clear faceted beads onto each wire. Wrap the end of the wires around themselves with wire pliers to secure the beads into place.
- Run a long piece of twine through the handle of your watering can. Add a knot where you want your first clay pot to sit. Then run the ends of your twine through a wood bead.
- Add a pot to the twine on top of your first wood bead. Then tie another knot wherever you want your second clay pot to rest and add another bead.
- Continue adding knots, beads, and pots until you have all you want on your homemade wind chimes.
- Finally, tie the twine at the top to make a loop for hanging, and your DIY wind chimes are done and ready to hang!
