Make Your Own Wind Chime

Doves for Your Garden Craft - This wind chime makes a pretty tinkling sound.

What you will need: decorative plastic curtain chain (Found at Wal-mart in their domestic department.), Computer CD, plastic milk carton, heavy duty thread, and a hot melt glue gun.

Shop for craft supplies at Grandma's Attic or your local craft supply store.

What to do:

1. Print out the bird patterns (Large file or small file) below and use them as templates to cut shapes from a plastic milk carton. Use one pattern twice so you have at least four bird shapes. Punch holes in the bird shapes.

2. Cut four, 9" - 12" lengths of plastic chain and glue them to one side of a computer CD. Tie the birds to the ends of the chains. Glue a string to the top of the CD to hang the wind chime.

You can create your own picture or use items from outdoors such as sea shells.
