Homemade Crafts : Metallic Wind Chimes


Metallic Wind Chimes

Buy inexpensive and light metallic measuring cups from your nearest store and make beautiful wind chimes for your room or to make a personalized housewarming gift for your friend. Older kids can also make it easily as a gift for Mother's Day or party favors for their parties. They make a nice musical sound and are perfect to be hanged in any windy area of your home such as deck, patio, balcony or even from a garden tree.

Things You Will Need:
  • 4 Light Metal Measuring Cups of Different Sizes
  • Acrylic Paint Colors
  • Drill (Optional)
  • Fishing Line
  • Paint Brush
  • Sealer
  • Wire Whisk
Method:
  • If your measuring cups do not already have a hole on the handle, drill one on the handle of each cup.
  • Paint your cups in any design and color as you like using acrylic paint and paint brush such as floral, geometric or even abstract patterns.
  • Preferably, use different main colors on each cup but you can paint them in red, white and green combination for Christmas and black and orange for Halloween.
  • Paint the wire whisk too as desired.
  • When the paint dries, spray sealer on the wire whisk and the measuring cups.
  • Now tie the fishing line to each cup.
  • Vary the length of string for each cup, preferably the smallest length of string for the smallest cup and so on in ascending order.
  • Tie the other end of the fishing line to whisk and make sure that the knot is secure.
  • Your wind chime is now ready to use.
