Get the thick stick and part of your thin stick and bend the thin stick in half, then attach it to the thick stick. Now get the string and the wood chips and glue the wood chips to the string in whatever way you would like, repeat five times.

Now it’s time to make the pattern in the center, I did triangles for this wind chime, but any shape will work, then attach a small piece of string to the top of the wind chime.


Congratulations! your done with the wind chime, it doesn’t make much noise but if you attach bells to the ends of the strings it will,

enjoy!
