Wind Chimes / Wind chime

In the summer, we always get the urge to collect things from nature. Fine rocks and, today, beautiful branches have been home with me. After seeing this picture on Pinterest we were sure we wanted to paint our branches. But what do you do with them then? A wind chimes, of course!

For today's craft do you dry branches, acrylic paint and brushes, a small lampställning, yarn and beads, drill and sandpaper.

1. Start by removing the old bark, sanding and drilling holes in what will become the top of the sticks. The painting also lampshade, if you think it necessary.

2nd Now for the fun! Paint sticks for fun and fantasy. Freya chose to paint all their sticks in one color. She allowed them to dry, taped stripes with masking tape and painted on with a different color. That way she got fancy striped sticks.

3rd Personally I like when you look at the stick and I therefore chose to only paint the parts of my sticks. This is what our finished sticks out. Neat, is not it!

4. When all the pegs are painted and dry we tie them firmly with twine on lampställningen. Do you want you can add some beads, we did, and so here they were fine! The yellow ...

... And the turquoise. Now we just have to find a good place for them in the garden.
