Happy Spring

Spring is finally here! Let's celebrate the season with a fun and easy craft that is great for children and adults. These wind chimes are easy to make and will make a wonderful sound as the spring time breeze blows into our state.
For the wind chimes you will need:
Scissors
Clear Plastic Lids
Hole Punch
Fishing line
Stick or Dowel
Jingle Bells

1. Cut the rims off of the plastic lids, then help children cut out several leaf shapes from the clear plastic lids.
2. Punch a hold in the top and bottom of each leaf. Tie a 7 to 10 inch length of fishing line to the top of each leaf then hang the leaves, evenly spaced, from the stick or dowel
3. Using the short lengths of fishing line, hang a jingle bell from the bottom of each leaf.
4. To make a hanger, tie the ends of a 6 to 8 inch piece of fishing line to each end of the stick.
