Make Your Own Clay Pot Wind Chimes
Clay pot wind chimes can be made in any size that you want. All you need are 3 to 4 different sizes.
Items you will need.
- 3 to 4 clay pots in different sizes.
- Jute
- 3/4” to 1” wooden bead.
- Paints of your choice.
It is best if you paint your pots first. You can free hand a design or use stencils. There are a lot of decals on the market that you can also use. Any craft store will have decals in all different designs. Swans and ducks look really nice on chimes.
Cut about a yard of jute. Put one end of the jute into the wood bead. Tie a knot and pull the ball down to the bead. Tie another knot about 1 ½’ up from your bead. I usually put a washer on top of the knot because the knot will shrink in time and your pot will slip past the knot.
Put your smallest clay pot on next. You will have to judge where to put your next pot. It should hang over the smallest pot by about ½”. Keep working up the line with your pots getting bigger. After you have your last clay pot on tie a loop to hang it with. If you have extra jute at this point just cut it off. You now have a clay pot wind chime that you can hang anywhere. These wind chimes are very easy to make and make great gifts.
