Make awesome wind chimes from old wine bottles! A great option for those who want to do recycling and want something beautiful to hang in the yard.
Steps
- 1 Collect empty wine bottles, ideally you will need at least 3 bottles
- 2 Erase the labels.
- 3 Wash bottles.
- 4 Take a glass cutter and use a clamp to cut a cut around the bottle as shown.
- 5 Cut off 3 bottles and sand the sharp edges to avoid cuts.
- 6 Take 3 Corks.
- 7 Purchase 6 hooks with a 3/4 thread.
- 8 Buy at least 60 centimeters of jewelry chain.
- 9 Screw the hook onto the top of the cork.
- 10 Attach the chain to the hook.
- 11 Cork the neck of the bottle.
- 12 Repeat with other bottles.
- You should have a set of 3 bottles.
- 13 For the last or bottom bottle of the kit, use a metal earring or similar item.
- 14 Attach it to the chain. When the wind hits the bell, it will make sounds.
- 15 Decorate the end of the chain if you like.
- 16 Gently join all three bottles together.
- 17 Hang somewhere with air circulating and listen to the relaxing sounds that bells make!
