Wind Chimes are a great addition to any porch or backyard. To learn how to make these mucial chimes, follow the instructions below. Just poke a tiny hole in the middle of each paper baking cup (try to buy different colored baking cups). To protect the holes from ripping, place a hole reinforcement sticker over each hole (the kind that kids use when their notebook paper rips), on the inside of the baking cup. You will need to cut 3 pieces of string (one should be 8", 10", and 12"). Tie a bell to the end of all of these strings. Take the end of each piece of string and pull it through each paper baking cup. Now the bell should be on the inside part of each baking cup. Tie all of these string together above the bells. Now you have some wind chimes...hang them from a tree or porch.
To make this special type of wind chimes, you will need 1 coffee can lid; hammer and nail; about 4 yd. heavy thread or lightweight colored string; an assortment of seven metal objects such as old keys, small bells, and 3" nails. With hammer and nail (and parental supervision or assistance) punch holes in coffee can lid as shown in sketch a. Cut the heavy thread or string in varying lengths and tie the metal objects to the lid. Do this in such a way that the objects will jingle against each other or the lid and sound like bells when jostled by the wind. Tie a 12" length of string to the top of the lid as shown in sketch c and suspend set of windbells in an open window, on the porch, etc.
