Tea Cup Wind Chimes! :)


Recently I saw some adorable wind chimes at Hobby Lobby that were made from tea cups! I thought they were so cute and looked pretty easy to make so I thought it would be a perfect project for the Domestic Divas!

Here is your supply List:

5 or 6 tea cups of your choice
Any beads you'd like to embellish
Heavy Duty fishing wire
Scissors
A round, oval or square wood piece
Drill to make 4+ holes in the wood piece


First measure out your fishing wire to whichever length you'd like
Then, tie a knot where you like to start adding the beads (Make sure you give yourself enough room to tie a knot through the wholes in the wood piece)


Continue adding beads and then tie a knot at the end before you tie another knot around the tea cup handle


Do all three fishing wires until your happy with the results. Then, pull the top through the hole on the wood piece and tie a knot around the edge. For the middle... make a loop and use a bead to secure under the wood piece for a loop to hang your wind chime on a hook or nail.


And Voila!!! All set! A handmade original one of a kid wind chime!


Angela made hers pretty cool! She put six holes in her wood piece and put one tea cup on each fishing wire at different lengths. Turned out so pretty!
